Bou Palo is a space inspired by the universal tradition of gathering under a tree—a place where stories unfold, meals are shared, and connections grow. Across cultures, the tree symbolizes community and comfort—a reminder to pause, celebrate, and feel at home, no matter where you are.

This platform brings together stories, recipes, and insights that celebrate not only Latin American heritage but also the diverse cultures and traditions that shape life in the Netherlands. Through interviews, shared experiences, and personal reflections, we explore the richness of multicultural living, including Dutch customs and the many other influences that thrive here.

Bou Palo is about celebrating what connects us all—whether through the flavors of a new dish, the joy of discovering another perspective, or the beauty of shared traditions. It’s a space for exploring how different cultures come together, finding inspiration in their uniqueness, and learning from one another.

Whether you’re here to rediscover a taste of home, try something unfamiliar, or simply enjoy the art of storytelling and connection, we hope this space feels like a welcoming place—your own spot Bou Palo (under the tree).
