At the National Museum of Anthropology we are repeating the journey of Magellan during the V Centenary of the First Round the World (2019-2022), stopping to know what the current situation is in some of the territories (and seas) around the that the expedition passed.
We are AFRO!
On this occasion, we border the African continent on a route that will take us from the Moluccas to the Cape Verde Islands.
