Overview

  • Experience a unique and transformative experience visiting San Basilio de Palenque, the first free town in America and an Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Just an hour and a half from Cartagena, this tour connects you to Afro-Colombian roots through its rhythms, flavors and ancestral knowledge.

    Accompanied by a local Palenquero guide, you will walk through streets full of historical murals, learn about the history of Benkos Biohó and take part in a lively sample of traditional music and dance. You will taste a typical lunch prepared by women from the community and learn about natural medicine, Palenquera language and cultural resistance.

    More than a tour, it is a real encounter with a living culture that has resisted oblivion with pride, pace and joy.
    Book now and be part of this living story.
