Cartagena de Indias Day Trip

Cartagena de Indias Day Trip

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Barranquilla at 6 am and take a minibus to Cartagena de Indias, the capital of the department of Bolivar. The journey lasts just under 2 hours, accompanied by breakfast with fruit, a sandwich, and juice.

Upon arrival in Cartagena, we will explore its colourful monuments and vibrant lifestyle. This historic city, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, is one of the most visited in Colombia. We will visit the neighbourhoods of Bocagrande, Laguito, and Castillo Grande, discussing the differences between the inner and outer bay of Cartagena. Following this, we'll visit the Convent of La Popa and have a typical lunch at La Mulata restaurant.

Next, we will ascend to the Fort of San Felipe de Barajas to learn about its history as a defensive fortress. Free time will be available to admire the vaults and browse local crafts and jewellery stalls.

To conclude the day, we will visit the Gold Museum and Bolivar Square, key symbols of Cartagena de Indias. We will return to Barranquilla by 5 pm.
