This CARTAGENA Day Trip Will Change How You See COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 Palenque
Рет қаралды 4,234
Күн бұрынCartagena Colombia is beautiful, but this day trip to Palenque the first free town in the Americas for Afro Colombians will change how you see things in Colombia.
San Basilio de Palenque is known to locals as Palenque or Palenge.
Just outside Cartagena is the first ‘free town’ in the Americas. Started by Benkos Biohó who helped Afro Colonbians flee slavery and recapture in Spanish colonial times. This Colombian city has been preserved and is famous for its music, culture, food and a language that is being preserved, which is a unique mix of African as its roots are in slavery combined with French Spanish and Portuguese - the languages of those that enslaved them.
Many tourists in Cartagena have no idea the story of the colourfully dressed women, the Palenqueras, who sell fruit in woven baskets on their head while others sell Colombian sweets like cocadas, caballitos, cheese and pan de coco.
If you want to know more about coastal Colombia and why it's so special this Cartagena tour changed my mind about how we talk about Colombia's history.

It's amazing that everytime you go you learn something new depending in your tour guide..did you go by the church or the boxer statue?

Of course, Deimer's info is in the video description. I have another video about his "Real Cartagena" tour that I loved. And he just told me I need to come back because he made a food specific tour.

Deimer's info is in the video description, he also has a "real Cartagena" tour which I loved and I think you might be interested in. There's a video of that one too. And he just told me I need to return because he started a food specific tour which, knowing him will feature very local spots.

No I really appreciate it. I think as a creator there's always a desire to grow and evolve. I think you'll see this even more as I visit Bali and more touristic areas in Indonesia where I try to seek out more local, authentic experiences and food in areas where people are just looking to take an Instagram photo and move on.

@BETOETE Жыл бұрын
Ayngelina, as a Colombian myself it was a great eye opener to a culture we barely know about and witness the progress of Palenque and the liftoff to be a natural tourist attraction less touristy than Cartagena. At this point clearly you have discover that the black Latin american culture is different than the one in North America mainly for the approach to the people (it's hard to explain), while black Americans tend to generalize as we are the same, they say.
@ayngelina Жыл бұрын
Yes definitely a different culture. I follow the Mitu page on Facebook and occasionally they will share articles about Afrolatino culture and their own struggle to be seen as Latino because they don't "look it" according to others. Palenque is also the first place where I realized South American history continues to celebrate the stories of the Spanish, and if we look at its heroes like Bolívar and Sucre in Ecuador they were born in South America but still of Spanish descent and their revolution or liberation was so they didn't have to pay their mother country anymore. But even as their gained independence it was only for the offspring of the Spanish whereas the Black and Indigenous continued to struggle for their own rights and path to equality. But that story isn't told because it's not as glorious as Gran Colombia.

@@ayngelina it just makes me laugh when black Americas travel to Latin America and address to them as "brothers', what about the music (they should like hip hop, they say), what about the food (they must like hamburgers too), and the simple approach to other people, the black American attitude (being aggressive, pushy, challenging..), that is not Latin American black, call that a huge culture trait gap between those groups; Let you know I'm not racist.

Uno de mis dulces favoritos es el dulce de pechiche, capaz en colombia también lo hagan ya que veo que tienen, acá solo se come en dulce y es super rica pero solo sale en una época del año la fruta. El resto del video me pareció super interesante, me gustaría probar todo eso ya que yo amo el coco y su cultura me parece fascinante!
