This Black-owned Company Just Launched an Afro-inspired Tour in Latin America

"From that moment on, I was hooked on Spanish, travel, language, and culture."

"I wanted to give people firsthand opportunities to experience Afro-descendant culture-to connect with communities, hear their stories, and witness their resilience and creativity."

"Haas customized a tour for this group, combining opportunities to meet with Afro-Costa Ricans featured in the series."

"The tour begins in Cali, the salsa capital of the world, where travelers will visit several historical and cultural sights."

Kim Haas's passion for travel ignited at six, leading her to create "Afro-Latino Travels With Kim Haas" on PBS. Her company now offers group travel experiences, enabling firsthand engagement with Afro-descendant cultures. After debuting a successful tour in Costa Rica that featured local Afro-Costa Ricans, Haas plans to launch a journey through Colombia in July 2025, immersing travelers in Afro-Colombian history and culture, visiting sites like Cali and Cartagena, and connecting participants with the local communities.
