The more that we continue to work on Matouring, the more we realise how much “world” is out there. That may sound rather simplistic, but even in these modern days of being “connected” 24×7, we are still bedazzled at how much we haven’t yet seen, and we’ve been to many, many places. We’ve also discovered that the destination may not end up being the “destination” if you know what we mean. In other words, upon arrival, new doors (and windows) open to us, and then open our eyes. It’s the best part of travel, really – the element of surprise.
So, with that in mind, this post is, quite simply, about a place – an hotel – that is a destination in itself, in a location that is a destination in itself: the Hotel Boutique Casa Del Arzobispado in Cartagena, Colombia. One look at the photos will tell you all you need to know, but let us not diminish its location. We keep championing Colombia as a destination, and for good reason. Hip, diverse, beautiful and endlessly interesting, Colombia and Cartagena should be on your list.
