Columbia: Cartagena and a Hidden Palenque
Columbia: Cartagena and a Hidden Palenque In the America's with David Yetman
Colombia's Caribbean coast was once a source of wealth of the Caribbean. The city of Cartagena was the most important city in the entire region. Now a home to monuments a half millennium old, the city and coast are home to a wide variety of cultures, including a Palenque, or village founded by escaped slaves. They continue to practice a self-sufficient way of life.
