What to expect
San Basilio De Palenque
4h
You’ll arrive in the small town of San Basilio de Palenque to a welcoming in the native Palenquero language, and start your tour uncovering some surprising, surreal, and sometimes scary stories of this historical location.
You’ll discover important monuments, of great significance to the history of this town, and Colombia. With probably the most important being the monument being of an African king called Benkos Biohó.
If you experienced nothing more than learning the true history of this man, your tour would be a success. But along with this, you’ll also visit the houses where people are learning to use the musical instruments of generations in the past. You’ll visit the community and ancestral house of justice.
You’ll uncover so much more in this tour, such as their food and cooking methods, learning to speak their language, their recreation, their graffiti, and culture. But you’ll have to book this tour to discover this wonderful day from Cartagena for yourself.
