The bay is a spectacular place for running, jogging, walking, cycling, skating, and in general for exercising. From 5:30 am the sun rises until night, illuminated by the spectacular view over the port of Cartagena. It has 2 km all the way from the Cluba Naval to where it ends near the entrance of the Naval base. Very safe and guarded all the time.

If something has drawn you toward Cartagena, then it’s likely to be a photo of one of its many, many, colourful streets. Although there are no shortage of these dreamy kaleidoscopic calles and carreras within the Walled City (more on those later), we largely preferred those we found ten minutes walk away in and around the Getsemaní neighbourhood. Once the grungy, gritty, salubrious part of old Cartagena, Getsemaní evolved into the hub for backpackers and curious travellers in the last decade. However, it was clear on our most recent visit that gentrification and wider tourism have now also arrived here in spades. Although homeless men still sleep in one section of the painted street off Plaza de Trinidad, which was unlit and avoided for years, that section is now also home to a cool Italian restaurant, cocktail bar, and visitors strolling to or from some of the various boutique hotels nearby.

La ciudad amurallada

This dream city, one of the most beautiful and best preserved in America. Founded in the 16th century by the Spanish and independent at the beginning of the 19th, Cartagena de Indias has known how to grow touristically and keep its essence. A story that makes us understand its current physiognomy. We are in front of an authentic walled fort! Let's get to know it in depth.
