About This Tour
Feel the ancestral strength of San Basilio de Palenque, the first free town in South America and a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage site. On this journey, you will discover the history of the Cimarrones who defied slavery, where alongside Benkos Biohó emerges the voice of Orika, a warrior whose words and courage inspired Palenquero resistance. Among streets filled with art, music, and tradition, you will feel the living heritage of a community that never stopped fighting. (This experience has been with us since 2014 — we were the first to bring foreigners to Palenque.)
