Overview

The people of Palenque invite you to get to know this cultural wonder declared by Unesco as the first town free from slavery in Latin America. This 100% African-American town still preserves those ancestral customs which the elderly are transferring to the young so that their culture is never lost. Come to see their dance, eat their food, visit the traditional doctors who cure all kinds of diseases with medicinal plants. Come they will fall in love.
This town was the first town free from slavery in Latin America. It is a corner of Africa in Colombia where the elderly still preserve their customs and try to transfer them to the youngest so that the legacy lasts. It is a town full of colors and a lot of culture.
