In this beautiful place you will discover a mud volcano that has the properties of the dead sea, in which you can enter, but you will never be able to touch the bottom, due to the chemical properties of the mud. In addition, the mud has healing properties that help your skin stop the aging process. All this while you and your friends or family have fun discovering and understanding this new experience. We will also visit the Galerazamba salt flats where we will see how a microorganism turns the water pink, but this attraction is temporary and depends on the weather conditions, so it only has a pink color from April to May. (But it will depend on whether it rains or not, since the rain melts the salt crystals and dilutes the pink color).

Enjoy magnificent views of the pink sea from a lookout point and learn more about the local area at the Ethnoindustrial Museum.

Palenque de San Basilio was one of those fortified communities called "palenques", which were founded by runaway slaves as a refuge in the seventeenth century. Of the many palenques that existed in earlier times, only that of San Basilio has survived until today, becoming a unique cultural space. Its cultural space encompasses social, medical and religious practices, as well as musical and oral traditions, many of which have African roots. Musical expressions such as the “sitting Bullernege”, the “Son palenquero” or the “Son de negro” accompany collective celebrations such as baptisms, weddings and religious parties, as well as leisure activities. An essential element is the Palenquera language, the only Creole language in the Americas that combines a Spanish lexical base with the grammatical characteristics of Bantu languages. This language constitutes a primary factor that reinforces social cohesion among community members.
