Walled city of Cartagena

Rich in Colonial-style architecture, the port city of Cartagena lies within an impressive seven miles of centuries-old colonial stone walls and is the fifth- largest city in Colombia. Located downtown, Cartagena’s Old Town is a Unesco World Heritage Site — a delightful maze of cobbled alleys, balconies covered in bougainvillea and massive churches that cast their shadows across plazas. Cartagena is a place to drop all sightseeing routines. Instead, just stroll through the old town day and night. Soak up the atmosphere, pausing to ward off the heat and humidity in one of the city’s many open-air cafes. An approximately 17-minute drive from downtown is the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas. This tourist attraction used to be an ancient fortress; the Spaniards built it in 1536. The tunnels were constructed in such a way as to make it possible to hear the footsteps of an approaching enemy. Some of these tunnels are open for viewing today. To really take in the city, visit the hill of La Popa. A convent, El Convento de la Popa, is located on top of a cliff, making it the perfect site to appreciate the ‘Heroic City’ from a distance. From here, the view takes in the Caribbean, Tierra Bomba Island, the tourist area, the walled downtown, La Boquilla, the northern zone and the city in general. And if you really want to get away, take a 45-minute boat ride to Las Islas del Rosario. This archipelago of some 30 islands boasts beautiful beaches, coral and turquoise waters.
