Tours in Cartagena de Indias, how to make the most of your days in this colonial city


Welcome to one of the most beautiful cities in Colombia. Traveling to Cartagena de Indias is like stepping into a novel by Gabriel García Márquez. The streets of this colonial city preserve an architecture that will make you feel like the protagonists of the books of the most famous Colombian author. Get ready (with the appropriate clothing, of course, because the weather in Cartagena can be very stifling) and come with us to discover what you can see in this fantastic destination.


We begin our walled city tour. Protected by imposing 16th century walls, the center of Cartagena de Indias preserves the most beautiful part of the city's colonial past. All it takes is a stroll through its streets or a guided tour to understand the importance and wonders of this place.


Just a few steps from the center of Cartagena de Indias, crossing to the other side of the wall, is Getsemaní, a colorful district where street art and restaurants mix with local life, with streets where it is not unusual to see neighbors playing dominoes.


But how can you imagine visiting Cartagena de Indias without imagining yourself on a paradise beach? If what you want is to spend the day from beach to beach, this has to be your next destination. With the 5 islands tour you will visit the Bocachica, Grande and Cholón islands, as well as, of course, the Rosario Islands and Playa Blanca and Playa Tranquila, on Barú Island. If you are one of those who like to treat yourself on vacation, your best option is to watch the sunset on a cruise while you tour the bay of Cartagena de Indias.


But if we talk about tourist sites to watch the sunset in this destination, we leave you two options that never fail: the towers of the wall or the mythical Café del Mar. We recommend you to enjoy the sunset in one of these places and also take the chiva tour through Cartagena, a tour that you can only experience in Colombia.


If you are looking for a plan to discover the other side of Cartagena de Indias' history, you should definitely go to San Basilio de Palenque. This town, located an hour and a quarter from Cartagena, was founded by Africans who were kidnapped and brought fo the Colombian coast and managed to escape from the slavers.


Another of our recommendations for excursions near Cartagena de Indias is for travelers who like to try new things: the Totumo Volcano. On this tour you will take a mud bath with medicinal properties and relax for hours in a swamp.


Lastly, and also to be able to relax for a few hours, we recommend you to see the prices of the different beach clubs that you can find in Cartagena de Indias. With them you can enjoy the sea, sun and have zero worries on some of the most beautiful beaches in the Colombian Caribbean.
