COLOMBIA
INTRODUCTION
Known as the ‘City of Colours’, Cartagena is a charming port city on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. It is most famous for its mix of old and new; along with beautiful sandy beaches, mouth-watering cuisine, and vibrant nightlife.
Cartagena’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a maze of colonial buildings, cobbled streets and balconies covered in bougainvillea. Centuries-old churches cast long shadows across the leafy plazas and bustling local markets juxtapose with chic boutiques and restaurants.
The bright Caribbean sunshine has permeated the buildings as much as the people, making it a destination that truly captures the heart and soul of its visitors.
