Color and Joy: The colors of power that are impossible to ignore represent the culture in every corner of Palenque.

About this activity

As protectors of Afro-Colombian cultural heritage, we created this experience to share the freedom, traditions, music, and spirit that continue to live in San Basilio de Palenque — the first free African town in the Americas.

This experience combines relaxation, Afro-Colombian culture, history, music, and authentic local interaction in one unforgettable day outside Cartagena.

Begin your journey at the famous Mud Volcano, where you can disconnect, relax in the natural mud baths, and enjoy the atmosphere with fellow travelers.

Then continue to San Basilio de Palenque, where African heritage remains alive through its people, language, rhythms, traditions, and community spirit.

Walk through the town with local guides, learn about the legacy of freedom and resistance, experience Afro-Colombian drumming and dance, connect with the Palenquero community, and enjoy a traditional local lunch.

Book now and discover two authentic cultural experiences near Cartagena in a single day.
