Activity itinerary

Walled City of Cartagena (Pass by)
In our walking tours, we visit each important square, place, and street where we talk about its importance and history. It is said that there are cities that have their own soul and Cartagena de Indias is one of them. With its history and modest personality, the Walled City was declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Travel with us through the beautiful and romantic streets and squares that are within the symbolic wall of the «Corralito de Piedra». In here, we will go through the conquest, the colony and the republic stages, that are mixed with the modernity of the XXI century.
