• 5Kumo Kusa Ta?

  The tour provided a deeper understanding of the struggles, resilience, and determination of the Palenque community. Hearing about their history, traditions, language, music, and cultural heritage made the visit much more than a typical sightseeing excursion. Our guide shared stories that helped bring the past to life and gave us a genuine appreciation for the people and traditions that have been preserved through generations. This was my favorite excursion during my entire trip. Get ready to join the dance troupe after their performance.

• 5Family Trip

  The tour was memorable! Victor and his family were warm and welcoming! He was very informative and engaging for both adults and children. We learned so much about Palenque and its history. While it was very hot, we were able to sit and travel for portions of the tour on the air conditioned bus. The activities we engaged in during the tour were both exciting and inclusive. Highly recommend!

• 5Phenomenal Cultural Experience

  I highly recommend this family-run tour! We learned so much about Palenque culture and history, and the tour was filled with unforgettable experiences. We had the opportunity to observe and participate in traditional cultural dancing, make native coconut and papaya candy, and learn about Benkos Biohó and the history of the first free African town in the Americas. We also visited a museum and gained a deeper understanding of how the community continues to preserve its traditions, including making medicine out of plants and preparing food by grinding corn and rice with a mallet. The highlight of the tour was enjoying a freshly cooked, authentic Colombian meal prepared by the tour guides sister at their grandmother’s home. We sat together and ate on grandma's porch and truly felt like part of the family. This was much more than a tour—it was an authentic and meaningful immersion into Palenque culture, history, traditions, and community. I highly recommend this tour, run by Victor and his family. Their warmth and hospitality made the experience truly unforgettable!

• 5More Than a Tour—An Experience I Highly Recommend 🖤

  Our family trip to **Palenque, Colombia 🇨🇴🖤** was an experience we will never forget! From the moment Dani picked us up, everything was well organized and punctual. He started by giving us a great introduction and made the entire experience feel personal and meaningful. Dani is extremely professional, welcoming, and so knowledgeable about **Black history, culture, and the powerful story of Palenque**. As a parent, this experience meant so much to me. My kids barely get the opportunity in school to truly learn about their roots and Black history. Bringing them to Palenque and allowing them to **see, hear, interact, ask questions, and learn from someone who truly knows and understands the history** was TOP TIER for me. 🙌🏾❤️ This wasn’t just another excursion—it was an opportunity for my family to connect with history, culture, and our roots in a way a classroom simply cannot provide. If you’re visiting Cartagena, **please don’t hesitate to book with Dani! Take the time to interact with him, ask questions, and soak in the knowledge. You will leave with so much more than pictures—you’ll leave with a story, a connection, and a deeper appreciation for the history of Palenque 🇨🇴

• 5Beautiful History and Community

  We loved the tour!!! Everything about it was amazing. The food, town, history, and culture were great, but the best part about it were the people. It is a community filled with talented and down to earth individuals that work hard to perserve their traditions and improve their towns conditions. We enjoyed every second of it. Our tour guides Victor and Martin were the best. We definetely recommend everyone to come visit San Basilio de Palenque if they want to enjoy and learn about Black Pride and History in Colombia.

About Cartagena

Cartagena, aan de Caribische kust van Colombia, is een ommuurde koloniale havenstad met balkons vol bloemen, kleurrijke pleinen en warme, muzikale avonden.

De ommuurde oude stad, een UNESCO-werelderfgoed, is een doolhof van geplaveide straten en pleinen met huizen in pasteltinten, kerken en bougainvillea. De Klokkentorenpoort leidt naar de Plaza de los Coches, en de kathedraal, de kerk van San Pedro Claver en het Paleis van de Inquisitie liggen allemaal binnen een paar straten. Bij zonsondergang over de dikke wallen lopen is een lokaal ritueel.

Top-ranked sights in Cartagena: Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario), Old Town Cartagena, Santo Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santo Domingo).
