Join us on an insightful journey through San Basilio de Palenque, where we will delve into the rich history and vibrant culture represented by its captivating murals, informative museum, and welcoming community.
Tour Details
We will commence our exploration at the designated time in the Plaza Principal de San Basilio de Palenque, the perfect starting point for our guided adventure into the area's heritage and significant sites!
Our first stop will involve a brief overview of the square's historical significance before we proceed to admire the mural Lengua ri palenge ta bibi ki musica. This will set the stage for an engaging discussion about the Palenque language, exploring its origins and its current state today.
Next, we’ll visit the local cultural group's Posa Kombilesa Mi headquarters. Their members will share insights into their role in enhancing the community culture through their music, and we will also witness a demonstration of their unique musical instruments.
Following this, we’ll explore a medicinal courtyard, where a local doctor will enlighten us on the practices of ancestral medicine. Our journey will continue to the Museum of San Basilio de Palenque, where we will uncover the traditional lifestyle of the residents and the invaluable contributions made by local women.
Once we wrap up our museum visit, which will last approximately 30 minutes, we will head to the monument honoring Kid Pambele. This famous boxer, celebrated as the world junior welterweight champion on two different occasions, will be the focus of our discussion regarding his illustrious boxing career and legacy.
To conclude our exploration of San Basilio de Palenque, we will stroll through the town's most iconic murals that collectively reflect its cultural essence.
After bidding farewell, we will make our way back to our original meeting point approximately 3 hours after we set out.
