[2025 Cartagena Attraction] Travel Guide for Cartagena de Indias (Updated Apr)

The first colonial city in Latin America and one of the pearls of the Caribbean sea. Cartagena de Indias is unique mixture of cultures and beauties. Totally colourful and vivid place. Getsimani and the Walled city are the two top areas for tourists. They are considered to be the safest as well. There you will meet the women from Palenque with their typical clothes and baskets with fruits. If you want to take a picture always ask for the price before hand. #100waysoftravel #columbia #cartagena

Explore Cartagena Starting from Plaza de Las Bovedas: Typical Colombian Souvenir Market. Here you can also find Palenqueras (mothers dressed in typical Colombian clothes with fruit on their heads). It is said that they were immigrants from the Palenqueras tribe. For photos with them, you have to prepare a tip of around 5000-6000 pesos. It's called a scam, isn't it, because tourists might also want to capture the moment by taking pictures with them. Continue to Palace de Inquisition - Santo Domingo Square - Catedral De Santa Catalina - Monumento Torre de Reloj - Plaza de la Trinidad and end by enjoying the afternoon at Monumento Torre de Reloj (the city center). And still the first day, I've fallen in love with Cartagena. Yes!!!, seeing directly the lifestyle of Latin people, which is true, in reality Latin music can be heard in every corner of the place and every time you step you can see young people dancing Latin. Ahhh what a beautiful view that adds to my enthusiasm to enjoy this colorful city #cartagena #colombia
