UNTIL NEXT TIME, SAFE TRAVELS

FROM FRUIT SELLER TO NATIONAL SYMBOL

Being direct descendants of the world’s first free African slaves, the Palenqueras represent an incredible feat of human resistance, the respected figure of courageous, hard-working mothers, and a still living and thriving Afro-Caribbean heritage. What better symbol to represent Colombia?Today, the Palenqueras sell less and less fruit and instead make their money from posing for curious tourists, photographers and journalists. And it’s easy to see why: their beautiful smiles, stunning traditional dresses and colourful hand-made jewellery set against Cartagena’s crum- bling mustard walls make for a stunning photo. However, very few people know that they’re not really from Cartagena at all, and there is much more behind these smiling women than meets the eye.

Learn about the history of these women who now represent Colombia as a national icon. This trip will explore the historic slave trade route and give you a taste of Cartagena’s Afrodecendent culture.
