WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Torre del Reloj
We get you. You prefer to know new places on your own. Just let us walk you through the main sites and give you useful insights of the city so you can enjoy it more. Meet new people and our guide at La Torre del reloj (Clock Tower) and let him show you what the Walled City and Getsemani have hidden away. This free walking tour in Cartagena is available in English and Spanish and you will find one of our guides holding the yellow umbrella at the meeting point.
2. Walled City of Cartagena
You will start strolling around the colonial and colorful houses as you know more about the main squares and bastions that traced our path to independence. Visit Santo Domingo’s square and church, the Cathedral of Santa Catalina de Alejandria (Saint Catherine of Alexandria) among others of great cultural importance.
3. Barrio Getsemani
Afterwards, you will be headed to Getsemani neighborhood which is knowing for having a bohemian spirit. Its streets and alleys boast colors and the lively, friendly, and charismatic spirit of locals who gather outside their houses and welcome everyone who walks by. Stroll around picturesque pieces of street art paintings along some of the most important streets Calle de la Sierpe, Calle San Juan, Calle de la Media Luna, Calle Larga, among others. You’ll get to see some of the best graffiti authors. Of course, this wouldn’t be the perfect tour without tasting Colombia’s flavors so you will have typical Colombian beers and sweets. We know you will end up wanting to discover more of Cartagena, our “heroic” city: a city that welcomes everyone.
