In this Colombia Travel Vlog we are taking you to Getsemani, a very colorful and historic neighborhood in Cartagena, Colombia as well as on a day trip to San Basilio de Palenque, the first free town in the Americas for Africans. During the colonial period in Cartagena, Getsemani was where the displaced indigenous and enslaved Africans were placed. San Basilio de Palenque, shortened Palenque, is a town where many Africans fled Cartagena in search of their freedom which was granted to them in 1713. While Cartagena receives many tourists throughout the year not many take the time to learn about the real history here so we hope this travel video teaches you a bit about what really happened so when you travel to Cartagena you can better understand Getsemani and Palenque, Colombia.
