Un día en Palenque
Two best friends. One unforgettable journey. And a hotel with a haunting past.
Marta and Alicia—inseparable friends from two different corners of the world—set out on a dream trip to San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia, a town rich in culture, history, and resilience. But even before they arrive, their adventure takes a twist. A stopover at a mysterious hotel in Cartagena brings whispers of ghost stories and eerie encounters. Alicia is skeptical, Marta’s not so sure—but neither is prepared for what lies ahead.
Their true destination, however, is far more captivating. In Palenque, the friends immerse themselves in powerful traditions, savory culinary experiences, and the living legacy of a community that has preserved its identity through centuries of colonial pressure.
As Marta and Alicia delve deeper into the heart of the town and its people, their journey becomes more than just a trip—it becomes a revelation. Through unexpected connections to their own lives and careers, they discover the lasting power of history, and the importance of protecting it for generations to come.
What starts as a cultural getaway quickly becomes a transformative experience... with a few chills along the way.
