This was the best choice I could have made. I love learning about the Palenque people and their truly inspirational journey. One of the girls got sick on our trip and our tour guide offered up his family home so she could rest up. I felt like part of the family. Super cool experience. There were too many difference experiences to list them all. We made music, danced, boxed ate, and laughed. 10/10

I love snorkeling. So when I booked a spring break trip to Colombia, the first items in my duffel bag were my fins, vest, snorkel and mask. After this tour, it was clear nothing could top this. The guide was an attorney who was born in San Basilio and loved his home so much that he spent time aside from preparing cases to show it to others. The other guests included an anthropology professor who had lived in Colombia earlier in her life. The road to San Basilio was temporarily blocked so we took a detour. Even this unplanned route through Turbaco was insightful and fun. We were treated as honored guests from a barefoot dance to the statue of Benkos Biohi to the studio where Kombilesa Mi record. I've snorkeled in St. Croix, Phuket, the North Shore, theAlgarve, Belize and Australia. This trip is the first one that was so great that I took my gear back home dry.
