About This Tour
San Basilio de Palenque, the first free town in America, founded by self-emancipated former slaves, remains a symbol of resistance and African pride. Isolated and resilient, Palenqueros preserved African culture while creating local manifestations like Alegrías and Son Palenquero. Located an hour and a half from Cartagena, this historic town offers insights into the African exodus and slavery period. Connect with locals, learn Lengua Palenquera, and explore monuments on a walking tour. Don't miss trying traditional cuisine and sweet treats before returning to Cartagena.
