Overview

Enjoy a welcome drink upon entering our Blessing Afro Cultural Museum. There will be a fascinating 30-minute interactive talk about the Afro history of Cartagena and how our ancestors used braids as secret codes of freedom. Then, I participated in a 30-minute practical braiding workshop to learn the technique. To finish, our experts will do the hairstyle you choose on your hair (such as Boho Braids or traditional styles).
