We’ve been to Cartagena, Colombia many, many times. Why, you may ask? We have family there, but – even more – it’s such a wonderful place to be (as is all of Colombia.) Relaxed, hip, diverse, fun and rich in history. And the food transcends. Located on the northern coast of Colombia, Cartagena (and all of Colombia) has shaken off the ominous memory of Pablo Escobar and is now as cosmopolitan as any city on the planet.
Cartagena’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is renowned for its well-preserved colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and colorful buildings. The area’s historical significance and charm offer a unique and picturesque experience. As part of that history, the city’s history is deeply rooted in a blend of cultures, including indigenous, African, and Spanish influences. This cultural diversity is reflected in the local cuisine, music, dance, and festivals, providing visitors with an opportunity to immerse themselves in a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere.
Stepping outside of the city, you’re surrounded by beautiful beaches along the Caribbean coast. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing sunbathing spot or water sports activities like snorkeling, diving, and kayaking, the beaches in and around Cartagena have something for everyone. is surrounded by beautiful beaches along the Caribbean coast.
