 San Basilio de Palenque is a small village nestled in the foothills of the Montes de María, a small mountain range south of Cartagena. It doesn’t appear in many guidebooks, and few tourists take the time to visit. However, this small settlement of some 4,000 melanated people is one of the most important historical villages in the Americas and is UNESCO-declared.

Palenque has maintained many of its African oral and musical traditions, including the only Spanish-Bantú language spoken on earth, known as Palenquero

This trip is NOT for you if:

♦ You love to complain and lack patience. Traffic and weather can be unpredictable, and we may need to adjust accordingly.

♦ You dislike minor changes or stepping outside your comfort zone, especially in countries where U.S. standards aren't always available.

♦ You are often late and dislike some early mornings. If you're late every morning, you may be left behind.

♦ You don’t enjoy being around others and feel entitled to disrespect people because "that's just how you are."

♦ You feel you don’t need to respect other cultures or religions.


Drama and pettiness are not welcome on our trips. We promote only positivity, brotherhood, and sisterhood in our community.
