Cartagena

Cartagena is a magical, romantic city of cobble stone streets and picturesque balconies full of bright bougainvillea. Founded in 1533, Cartagena is not on rich in beauty, but also has a colorful history of pirates and international adventure.

The jewel of the Colombia Caribbean, Cartagena is a delicious mix of old and new, with a touch of romance, history and intrigue.

Here is the place to enjoy a horse drawn carriage ride, explore the maze of historical cobbled alleys or people watch in one of the many outdoor cafes.
