Cartagena

Starting at the port/hotel and after a warm welcome, we start our tour visiting neighbourhoods between the starting point and the highest place of the city named La Popa which is 512 feet above sea level with a magnificent view of the whole town.

Up there we spend 30 minutes visiting the chapel (1611), the museum, and the yard and there will be time for taking photos and visiting the bathrooms.

From there, we go to the most important military construction from Spain in the Americas, a fort name San Felipe De Barajas, right inside 45 minutes walking through the tunnels and galleries and also the open spaces.

From the fort we go to a nice place named The Vaults, which used to be soldiers’ barracks and is the last military construction from Spain in the city; right there we have 25 minutes in order to know the story of the place and for shopping handcraft if you want to.

Back to the vehicle and after a few minutes passing by Gabriel Garcia Marquez House we start our walking easy going tour in order to visit the gold museum (closed on Mondays), San Pedro Claver church, the very beautiful colonial streets to see also the nice colonial city that was declared a historical and cultural heritage of Mankind by UNESCO in 1985.

We will see also the new city to see how much it is different from the old one.

You will have with you a bilingual tour guide willing to help you and to answer your questions.
