Enjoy 7 days in Cartagena, exploring its idyllic beaches, rich history, and Caribbean energy.
Your visit to Cartagena is divided into two parts. First, soak up some sun and beach time in Baru Cartagena. Just 45 minutes from the city by boat, this gorgeous island invites you to enjoy its white and pink sands and turquoise waters for a full two days at leisure before returning to the city. This is your chance to unwind and slow down to Caribbean time, all while enjoying the beauty of Isla Baru.
Spanish, African, and indigenous influences all come together in colourful Cartagena. A half-day walking tour will show you why this is one of the world’s favourite Caribbean cities. Cartagena has survived piracy, the Inquisition, and in more recent times, gentrification to remain a Colombian treasure. A visit to the Museum of Cartagena will help bring the city’s past to life as you explore its streets, fortifications, and local neighbourhoods such as Getsemani.
There’s lots to see and experience in Cartagena. You might take a day trip out to the Rosario Islands for more Caribbean bliss, take a half-day trip for a healthy soak in the mud of Totumo volcano, or try your hand at local specialties with a cooking class. Your visit ends with a delicious 3-course meal at an upscale local restaurant.
