Cartagena
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984, Cartagena is a living history book telling stories of colonialism, independence, and the development and shaping of South America. Remnants of Spanish colonialism appear everywhere, with incredible architecture and Spanish cultural allusions on every corner. Seek out a Cartagena tour guide to tour historic monasteries and churches, and statues and monuments to South American heroes, the Palace of the Inquisition, and the Castle of San Felipe de Barajas. Take a break from the historical tour by watching a bullfight, a visit to the nearby beaches flush with corals or explore the mangroves topped off with a not to be missed dip in an exotic mud volcano. To add some gastronomical flavour to the visit, experience the unique Colombian Caribbean cuisine that is a fusion of the Spanish, local and African palate. Bask in the warm and welcoming nature of the local populace while exploring the magic of Cartagena, a world heritage city that leaves the charmed traveller asking for more!
