Our next stop will be the San Felipe de Barajas fort, the largest fortress built by the Spanish in South America. Here, we will explore some of its tunnels and view the statue of Don Blas de Lezo. We will then head to the center of Cartagena to stroll through its main streets and squares.
Throughout the tour, our guide will share interesting facts about the history of Cartagena, including legends and pirate stories. While exploring the Historic Center, we will visit landmarks such as the Clock Tower and the statue of Don Pedro de Heredia, the founder of the city.

The tour will provide insights into the various influences that have shaped Cartagena, including romantic, Moorish, colonial, military, Arab, Spanish, and North American influences. We will also visit significant landmarks like the Palace of the Inquisition and the Sanctuary of San Pedro Claver, dedicated to the Spanish priest and missionary known as the “Slave of Slaves” for his work with African slaves in the Spanish colonies.
Included: private transportation, entrance fees, a professional guide, breakfast, and selected accommodations.
We will start our morning with breakfast before visiting the Bazurto Market, a traditional market selling fish, meat, fruit, clothing, and art, which is an integral part of Cartagena. Unlike the popular La Popa convent and the San Felipe Castle, this market is not frequently visited by tourists. It’s an excellent place to purchase traditional Colombian food, have a meal, and immerse yourself in the local culture. During our tour through the market’s narrow streets, our guide will introduce us to various fruits, herbs, vegetables, fish, seafood, and meat, as well as stalls selling spices and medicinal herbs. The tour will end at a dining area where you can try the typical lunch option, which is fried fish with yucca (not included).
In the afternoon, we will enjoy a coffee tasting at Café del Mural in the Getsemaní neighborhood, situated in the historic center of Cartagena de Indias. This coffee corner provides a unique coffee tasting experience, allowing you to explore the deep and exotic flavors of coffee. We encourage you to delve into everything this wonderful fruit has to offer, savoring its exceptional flavors and aromas.
