Tour Description

Cartagena served as the principal port for the Spanish colonies in Central and South America three centuries ago. The remarkable old town was constructed with the revenues from the transatlantic trade that brought treasures from the Americas to Europe.

So where should we begin? Get off at the Torre del Reloj, which is located above the ancient town's main gate. Walk around the colonial streets of the city's nearly 500-year-old historic centre and pass through its ancient arches. The Casa Museo Rafael Núñez, named for the poet and 19th-century Colombian president who resided in the stunning colonial mansion that now serves as the museum, is another excellent spot to stop.Take our upper deck to modern Bocagrande, where skyscrapers stand in place of colonial architecture. The Centro Comercial Plaza Bocagrande is located in this neighbourhood, making it the ideal place to go shopping if you're in the mood.
