Depart from Cartagena and head towards the town of San Basilio de Palanque. Founded in the 17th Century, this tiny village was UNESCO Heritage listed in 2005. It has a fascinating history and is where many Afro-Colombian styles of dance and music find their origin. Initially a refuge for escaped slaves, many African influences and traditions are still evident today. Upon arrival in Palenque you will meet a family who will teach you about the local customs and way of life. Taking a tour with a local guide will allow an insight into the people and places in this close community in a way that would not otherwise be accessible. Enjoy a traditional lunch before you drive back to Cartagena.
