The palenqueras are Colombia's Cultural Icon. The

The palenqueras are Colombia's Cultural Icon. The sight of beautiful black women in colorful dresses, expertly balancing bowls of tropical fruits on their heads in Cartagena is one to behold for any visitor to Colombia.

A brief history; In 1691, San Basilio de Palenque, a small village in the Southeast of Cartagena in Colombia and ruled entirely by runaway African slaves signed a royal decree declaring the town's independence from Spanish colonial rule.

This made it the very first free town of the Americas together with the first free men and women of the New World; the palenqueros and palenqueras.

Cut off from the rest of Colombia, hardships made the palenqueras think of ways to improve their livelihoods. Hence they began packing fruits on their hand woven baskets, wearing their traditional African dresses and traveling on foot to the bustling city of Cartagena to sell.

And while they no longer only rely nowadays on fruit vending, they are making money posing for visitors to Cartagena and barely miss on Colombia's Travel Catalogues.
