Your tour begins at the port, where your local guide will greet you and lead you on a fascinating historical journey through Cartagena. Explore the city’s vibrant past, including gripping pirate tales, enemy attacks, and its heroic struggle for independence. Enjoy a photo stop at the iconic Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, widely regarded as the most impressive fortress built by the Spanish in their colonies. This site is rich with secret tunnels and hidden chambers waiting to be discovered. Next, visit Las Bóvedas, a historic site that once served as a colonial prison and now houses unique souvenir shops. From there, embark on a walking tour to explore Cartagena’s main plazas and landmarks, each brimming with its own distinct charm and history. The tour concludes at San Pedro Claver Square, where you’ll have 30 minutes of free time for shopping. Your guide will provide a meeting point and time for your return to the cruise ship terminal.
