Knowing palenque - A very interesting and fun tour with Keiden, which allowed me to get to know about the cultural richness of the Palenge people. How important to know the story from the voice of a local guide.

Book this Tour to Palenque!!! - Please book this tour when visiting Colombia ! Our tour guide Keider was friendly , witty and gave us a great oral history of the historical village that is Palenque. My group and I visited a traditional Palenque house , a traditional herbalist doctor in the village , and were greeted by the beautiful Palenque people. Tips for this tour : 1. It is hot . I recommend bringing a visor , umbrella or hat or even small hand towel. Also bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. The tour includes one free bottle of water. After that you are on your own. 2. Walking! You will be walking a lot . Some of the roads are unpaved so wear something comfortable on your feet. However, I wore sandals and a dress only because I wanted a certain look in my photos(lol). 3. Walk with Colombian money to give donations or tips for the people of the village and tour guides to show gratitude. 4. Book this tour TODAY!!!
