Program details
Cartagena, a city that stretches along the northern coast of Colombia, manages to combine stunning beach landscapes with an urban center rich in modernity and history. You could say that the best way to enjoy this jewel is through a double-decker bus and a flexible itinerary with an average duration of 90 minutes, in a circuit that includes 14 strategically located stops, where the passenger can go up and down as many times as you wish, for 2 days of the validity of the ticket.
Climb aboard your outdoor trip and sail through the historic center of Cartagena. Surrounded by 500-year-old walls, the city's previous defense strategies included a military fortress, still intact today. Explore the San Felipe Castle, designed by the Dutch engineer Richard Carr, and built by the Spanish in 1657 as a safeguard against pirates.
Tour the Palace of the Inquisition, the royal structure where the Spanish Inquisition tortured, judged and condemned men, and see the 18th-century chamber that now contains cryptic equipment and other historical artifacts.
Visit the impressive monuments of the city, such as the statue of Simón Bolívar, known as "El Libertador" of South America due to its efforts to free the colonies from Spanish rule, or the testimony from the port side to the Heroes of Cavite and Santiago de Cuba, a stone and marble landmark that commemorates the Spanish marines who died fighting US and Cuban troops.
