Discover the hidden gem of San Basilio de Palenque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the heart of Colombia. This unique Afro-Colombian village is known for its rich history, culture, and traditions, and is a must-see destination for anyone interested in the African diaspora.
San Basilio de Palenque was founded by escaped slaves in the 17th century and has since developed a strong sense of community and cultural identity. The village is home to a vibrant musical tradition, with a style of music known as “Palenque” that combines African rhythms with traditional Colombian instruments.
