Get lost in the colorful streets, admire the flowered balconies, and visit the iconic Clock Tower. Every corner tells a story of pirates, the inquisition, and a glorious colonial past.
One of the must-do plans is to watch the sun set over the Caribbean Sea from the historic city walls, feeling the warm breeze while the city lights up.
Just 45 minutes away by speedboat, you will find an archipelago of white sand beaches and crystal clear waters ideal for snorkeling and completely disconnecting from the world.
Cartagena has become a culinary capital. The seafood offering is exquisite, blending tropical ingredients and catch of the day with international haute cuisine techniques.
Cartagena's sweet tradition, inherited from African and Spanish influences, is a delight. Try the arequipe cocadas, alegrías, and papaya caballitos.
Things you won't find in a regular guidebook.
The heat and humidity can be intense; linen clothing, a hat, and sun protection are essential.
The best time to walk and take photos is early in the morning (before 9 am) or late in the afternoon.
To go to the islands, buy your tickets directly at the official La Bodeguita Pier, avoid street intermediaries.
