Day 2: Gondola Trip in the Mangroves of La Boquilla in Cartagena

Sunday, February 7, 2027

Gondola Trip in the Mangroves of La Boquilla in Cartagena

Start Time: 08:30

Duration: 3 hrs.

Discover the serene settings of the swamplands and the vast biodiversity in the Mangroves outside Cartagena. Enjoy the silence on a canoe trip with a local guide!

Mangroves are swamp ecosystems of the incredible diversity that are key for the environmental balance of many tropical coastal areas. This is the place where a big part of the maritime life originates. They work as a natural barrier to protect the land from natural disasters and make a unique scenario to be in close contact with nature.

The beaches of La Boquilla located in the northernmost part of Cartagena are a popular place for most residents of the City, especially for families in the medium and low-income ranges. For decades this district was left behind the investment and growth seen in richer areas of the city like Bocagrande where skyscratching hotels and buildings started to rise thanks to the attraction of tourists thanks to Cartagena's charming Caribbean atmosphere and colonial heritage. But La Boquilla was kept outside these developments and struggled to guarantee basic necessities such as potable water, waste management, energy and food security. Everything seemed to be going wrong until a group of fishermen noticed a significant decline in their fishing activities, attributable to deteriorating natural conditions. This downturn affected not only their economic livelihood but also the well-being of their families and the entire community. So they organized themselves and took matters into their own hands, engaging with the local government to secure public services in their territory and training the community in waste management to stop the contamination of water flows, and consequently, the ocean. After many years of efforts, the mangrove ecosystem, which had been the community's landfill, began to recover. Fisherbirds such as herons, egrets, ibis, and pelicans started to thrive, and typical fish species like mojarra and snook, integral to the identity of La Boquilla and its fishers, returned.

This canoe trip will take you through the channels and tunnels formed by dense mangrove swamp forests at Cienaga de la Virgen. Here, you will go deeply into the heart of this ecosystem, making stops at small hideaways where biodiversity reveals the treasures that surround this magnificent place.

This tour takes place in La Boquilla; here you’ll find mainly fishing communities of Afro-Colombian families. The contrast between this area and the heart of Cartagena couldn’t be any bigger, but that is exactly what makes this excursion so attractive and appealing to adventurous souls.

Day 3: San Basilio de Palenque - The corner of Africa in Colombia

Monday, February 8, 2027

San Basilio de Palenque - The corner of Africa in Colombia

Start Time: 08:00

Duration: 8 hrs.

Visit San Basilio de Palenque, the first settlement of the world founded by emancipated slaves (negros cimarrones) from the Spanish and Portuguese colonial rule, and explore the authenticity of their vibrant afro-colombian culture through history, language, traditional music, and tasty food.

San Basilio de Palenque was the first free town in America, founded by self-emancipated former slaves during Colombia’s colonial period. This town remains a symbol of resistance and of African pride due to its impressive story. Thanks to isolation and resistance, Palenqueros preserved African culture while creating new local manifestations such as Alegrías (a type of candy), Son Palenquero (a music genre) and the first and only Spanish-based creole language, which is still spoken in this place.

San Basilio de Palenque is located in the Montes de María region, about an hour and a half outside Cartagena. On the car ride, you will be able to learn about the African exodus and slavery situation during the colonial period accompanied by a local guide.

After a warm welcome upon arrival in San Basilio, you will be able to connect with the local culture by meeting the town’s people and local guides. You’ll have the chance to hear the language - Lengua Palenquera - and even pick-up a few words yourself.

On a walking tour through the town, you will come across important monuments and colorful paintings that will bring you even closer to understanding the history of this place like the statue of Benkos Bioho, the Congolese leader that escaped forming the first African settlements in the territory in the early 1600s or Kid Pambele, boxing world champion in 1972 and son of the town's fighting spirit, and many more incredible insights and stories that make this day trip from Cartagena and adventure that you will never forget.

Something not to be missed on a cultural experience in San Basilio is trying their delicious food. While trying mouthwatering sweet and savory preparations like Sancocho, Coconut Rice and the tasty Cocadas sold by "Palenqueras" on the streets of Cartagena, you will be taught about their traditional recipes and what they mean to them.

If this has not yet convinced you, you might want to read bout Palenque's UNESCO 2005 recognition for its rich cultural heritage, designating it an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Don't just hear about the magic, experience it! Reserve your spot today and join us in the heart of Palenque!

Before diving into the walk, you’ll meet your local guide and receive a powerful contextual introduction to the history of Comuna 13 — a territory shaped by internal displacement, armed conflict, and the absence of state presence.

Throughout the route, you'll engage with powerful murals and hidden galleries that tell stories of resilience, memory, and ongoing challenges. At Funsatour’s headquarters — a community-run organization focused on childhood development — you'll learn how one family turned their own trauma into action and impact. After enjoying a refreshing treat and a short break, you'll leave your mark with a personalized TAG, contributing to a collaborative piece of urban art. As you continue walking through the neighborhood’s electric stairways and colorful passages, you’ll hear about the role of women in rebuilding the social fabric and reflect on the delicate balance between tourism and sustainability.

The experience closes with a panoramic view of the territory and an honest conversation about the current challenges the community still faces.
