A visit to Carthagena should include a trip to the Palenque de Benkos Biohó, the most frequented site and historical document of the Colombian Caribbean region. This area, rich in African heritage, is a significant part of America’s history. In this Colombian enclave, the largest black rebellion of the 17th century took place. Led by Benkos Biohó, a combat general and prince of the Royal Family of Guinea-Bissau (formerly Portuguese Guinea), a group of black individuals successfully escaped the Spanish colony in the walled city of Cartagena de Indias. They established San Basilio de Palenque, the first free black territory in America, where African traditions, customs, and legacies continue to thrive.
