Discover the historical essence of Cartagena on a fascinating tour that will take you on a journey through time.
The first stop on your tour is the San Felipe de Barajas Castle. This architectural gem in Cartagena stands as one of Colombia's most significant historical monuments. Constructed in the 17th century by the Spanish during their colonial rule, this fort was designed to protect the city from relentless pirate attacks and adversaries. Once inside, you'll grasp why this castle was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.
After immersing yourself in history, it's time to tantalize your taste buds. You'll visit a charming spot where you can savour regional sweets, followed by an exceptional coffee experience.
The journey continues with a transfer to Cerro de la Popa. You'll ascend to one of Cartagena's most mystical spots, where the panoramic city views will take your breath away. At the hilltop, you'll discover the Convento de Santa Cruz de la Popa, a haven of peace and spirituality. Here, you'll learn about its historical and religious significance, tour the facilities, admire its architecture, and uncover the myths that are housed within.
After an enriching three-and-a-half-hour experience, you'll be returned to your hotel.
