508 – Colombia: Cartagena and a Hidden Palenque

Colombia’s Caribbean coast was once a source of the 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.
