Have you ever visited Africa? San Basilio de Palenque is literally an African enclave in the Americas, maintaining the traditions, African languages, dances, culture, lifestyle, and beliefs of its community. During the colonial period, the Spanish forced over a million Africans to Cartagena to serve as slaves. These Africans were dehumanized, yet some managed to escape enslavement due to the ingenious hairstyles of the local women, which played a crucial role in their quest for liberty. A knowledgeable guide from Palenque will share extensive insights about this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Interacting with the inhabitants, you will feel as though you are truly in Africa.
