"Colonial Splendor, Cobblestone Streets & Caribbean Coast Charm"
ABOUT
Cartagena de Indias is one of the Western Hemisphere's most beautifully preserved colonial cities - a fortified Caribbean port whose pastel-painted, flower-draped historic center has been frozen in time since the 16th century. Walk the massive stone walls of the Las Murallas colonial fortification at sunset for sweeping sea views, explore the labyrinthine streets of the walled city's elegant merchant quarter, sip a cocktail in a rooftop bar above the Getsemani artist neighborhood, and take a boat to the stunning Islas del Rosario coral reef archipelago. Cartagena has exploded as a world-class destination combining extraordinary colonial history with a vibrant modern culture.
