Phenomenal Once in a Lifetime Experience - This was by far one of the most meaningful and well executed travel experiences I've ever had. Angel was our hilarious and super intelligent guide. He is truly a cultural and literary scholar who has developed such an incredible relationship with the people of Palenque. He has the utmost respect for the history and culture, and his excitement about sharing all of his knowledge was palpable. He and our palenquero host filled us in on the past, present, and future of this unique village, a tiny slice of Africa in the mountains of South America. They lead us through town, covering as much culture, history, and traditions as possible. The hours flew by like minutes. It was such a privilege for people there to share their way of life with us, answer my endless slew of questions. Everyone should get to know this place. Dance there, sing there, eat there, learn there, share there. Duran Duran facilitated the best possible experience for doing so.
