Who is Juan Ballena?

Juan Ballena was a free man until the day that he was kidnapped and made a slave in Cartagena de Indias. He managed to escape to San Basilio de Palenque, a refuge for those who had escaped from their oppressive colonizers.

There he met a woman with magical powers who taught him the world of African rituals. He began to understand the forces of nature and the powers of metamorphosis, which he used to transform himself into a whale and sink the slave ships approaching the coast. With Juan Ballena’s help, San Basilio was considered to be the first town in the Americas freed from slavery. Today, the memory of Juan Ballena still lives in the hearts of everyone who loves freedom, and discovers their destiny through travel.
