Here’s an overview of your tour
Commencing in the heart of the historical center and concluding in the vibrant neighborhood of Getsemani, this two-hour tour is divided into two distinct parts, each offering its unique immersion.
The first leg of our journey embarks on a historical odyssey, uncovering the tales and landmarks that have defined Cartagena over the ages. From the ancient streets of the historical center, we'll trace the city's fascinating history.
The second part of our expedition celebrates the vibrant local culture. As we transition to Getsemani, you'll experience the lively pulse of the community, soaking in the traditions, art, and daily life that shape this dynamic neighborhood. Together, these two segments create a comprehensive and enriching experience of Cartagena's past and present.
