This town is the reason I chose to come to Colombia, as I wanted to see the modern-day embodiment of when preservation of roots and culture is prioritized, despite all attempts to obliterate. It did not disappoint!

My wife and I toured the historic village of Palenque with Victor, who’s a local resident. We had a wonderful time walking around the village with its amazing street art, meeting the locals, including a dance troupe with tons of energy (don’t be afraid if they ask you to join them!), an abuela with marvelous dulce-making skills, an herbalist who blessed us with nice gifts (no spoilers!) and a yummy lunch lovingly made by Victor’s sister. Throughout the tour, Victor also shared a balanced view of Palenque’s history and invited us into a conversation with him on what it means to be an Afro-Colombiano.
We’ve been in Colombia for two weeks across the entire country from Bogota to the coffee region and now to the coast, and this tour was the perfect cap of our time here.
