Cartagena's Palenque Village Tour: What We Didn't Expect as Black Cruisers
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
This was our first stop on our group cruise to Colombia and the Southern Caribbean on Virgin Voyages.
This was an indepth tour into the Palenke culture.
Visiting this site was probably the most emotional part of the day.
If Cartahena is not on your bucket list, I don't understand why it's not because it has so much to offer.

What started as a regular cruise port day turned into one of the most unforgettable experiences We Were NOT Expecting in Cartagena, Columbia In this episode, we take you with us to Cartagena, Colombia — where nothing went as planned (and we’re so glad it didn’t). From an eye-opening visit to San Basilio de Palenque, the first free African town in the Americas, to sipping world-class cocktails at Alquímico, and ending the night dancing on a rooftop with our cruise fam… Cartagena really showed out. 🍽️ We had flavors we’ll never forget. 🎶 We joined in local dancing. 🍸 We hit one of the world’s top bars — twice. 💃🏽 And we did it all with 20 amazing couples. If you’re sailing with Virgin Voyages or thinking about stopping in Cartagena, this is the one to watch. ⸻ 🎥 Featured Stops in This Episode: • Freedom Tour of Palenque - https://www.viator.com/tours/Cartagena/Freedom-Tour-of-Palenque/d4498-136321P1?pid=P00002881&uid=U00600742&mcid=58086¤cy=USD • Alquímico Cocktail Bar - https://alquimico.com • Manglar Cartagena - https://manglarctg.co ⸻ Subscribe for more grown-folks travel 👉🏾 @AddyandTerry 📺 New episodes every week 🛳️ Couples-only cruises, cocktails, culture & connection ⸻ #CartagenaColombia #VirginVoyages #CruiseVlog #CouplesTravel #BlackTravelVloggers #AddyAndTerry Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfwDXRmQv0_-omrz4EpoOA/join 📧 Need help planning your next adventure?
