@@ayngelina hello! Love your video and all its information :) We are planning to go to Colombia in 2wks and would love to go on this tour, however, I cant find exactly where to look/book. Please advise.
Ayngelina, as a Colombian myself it was a great eye opener to a culture we barely know about and witness the progress of Palenque and the liftoff to be a natural tourist attraction less touristy than Cartagena. At this point clearly you have discover that the black Latin american culture is different than the one in North America mainly for the approach to the people (it's hard to explain), while black Americans tend to generalize as we are the same, they say.
Yes definitely a different culture. I follow the Mitu page on Facebook and occasionally they will share articles about Afrolatino culture and their own struggle to be seen as Latino because they don't "look it" according to others. Palenque is also the first place where I realized South American history continues to celebrate the stories of the Spanish, and if we look at its heroes like Bolívar and Sucre in Ecuador they were born in South America but still of Spanish descent and their revolution or liberation was so they didn't have to pay their mother country anymore. But even as their gained independence it was only for the offspring of the Spanish whereas the Black and Indigenous continued to struggle for their own rights and path to equality. But that story isn't told because it's not as glorious as Gran Colombia.
@@ayngelina it just makes me laugh when black Americas travel to Latin America and address to them as "brothers', what about the music (they should like hip hop, they say), what about the food (they must like hamburgers too), and the simple approach to other people, the black American attitude (being aggressive, pushy, challenging..), that is not Latin American black, call that a huge culture trait gap between those groups; Let you know I'm not racist.
This is cool. I've been meaning to take a Palenque tour... it's been on my list for a year now. Now that I live in Barranquilla full-time, I plan to take a Palenque tour in April!
@@ayngelina Yeah he's cool. We spent time together in May/June of last year... went to Barzuto Market, his foundation, up the hill, etc. I'll go back to Cartagena in April and see him (and the Foundation kids) again.
You know I almost didn't share this video, I really struggled with it because I don't think it really represents just how great the day was. You've given me a lot to think about.
Now...don't get me wrong...your Ecuador vids, especially with Andres...the quality of your work in those is fantastic.. it's why I'm a life long follower now☺️ I think the context of this video was really powerful. I love that you sought out an organization that was really about lifting up the local people and their culture. Thank you!
No I really appreciate it. I think as a creator there's always a desire to grow and evolve. I think you'll see this even more as I visit Bali and more touristic areas in Indonesia where I try to seek out more local, authentic experiences and food in areas where people are just looking to take an Instagram photo and move on.
@@ayngelina That's why I think you are amazing at what you do...authentic experiences! You are so genuine and real with us. My hubby and I have been following for you 2 yrs now and we literally look forward to YOUR videos the most :)
Amazing and very informative video! We are on our way to Colombia in April and will definitely add this tour to my list. Would you be so kind to share the details of the tour operator? Thank you!
Of course, Deimer's info is in the video description. I have another video about his "Real Cartagena" tour that I loved. And he just told me I need to come back because he made a food specific tour.
Deimer's info is in the video description, he also has a "real Cartagena" tour which I loved and I think you might be interested in. There's a video of that one too. And he just told me I need to return because he started a food specific tour which, knowing him will feature very local spots.
@@ayngelina thank you so much for answering ! Yes I found them I was silly not checking there before! I’m already in touch with him and very excited organising everything ! Thank you always for your videos!
Uno de mis dulces favoritos es el dulce de pechiche, capaz en colombia también lo hagan ya que veo que tienen, acá solo se come en dulce y es super rica pero solo sale en una época del año la fruta. El resto del video me pareció super interesante, me gustaría probar todo eso ya que yo amo el coco y su cultura me parece fascinante!
We were lucky to share this wonderful trip with you. Thanks again.
It was such a great time to spend two days with you all.

Wow, that was an amazing video. Learned so much and didn't know much about that part of Colombia.

I would love to take this tour when I visit in few weeks

Oh definitely I understand that 😊
you tend to generalize. you laugh at black Americans calling Colombians if African descent brothers?
It's amazing that everytime you go you learn something new depending in your tour guide..did you go by the church or the boxer statue?
A good guide is key and I was happy to support one that showed things beyond the obvious tours.
This is cool. I've been meaning to take a Palenque tour... it's been on my list for a year now. Now that I live in Barranquilla full-time, I plan to take a Palenque tour in April!
You should check Deimer out he has lot of interesting things going on.
@@ayngelina Yeah he's cool. We spent time together in May/June of last year... went to Barzuto Market, his foundation, up the hill, etc. I'll go back to Cartagena in April and see him (and the Foundation kids) again.
Oh awesome!

@@ayngelina cooking and table stuff more than touring and vistas..

In Palenque?
