  3. Fuerte de San Sebastian del Pastelillo
    10m
    We will make a photo stop to take a picture of ourselves in front of the fort's guard post that protected Manga Island and the water channel towards the San Felipe de Barajas fort.
  4. Barrio Getsemani
    30m
    We will visit points of greatest historical and artistic interest within the Getsemani neighborhood, and we will stop to hydrate in preparation for the route to the Bazurto Market. We will take photos, of the art on the walls and the colorful streets of the Getsemani neighborhood.
    This is a humble, but very colorful and important neighborhood that has earned a place as one of the "coolest" neighborhoods in the world according to Forbes and Travelers Magazine.
  5. Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas
    Pass by
    The largest fortress built by the Spanish in the American Hemisphere during the conquest, colonization and governance of Latin America.
  6. Pass by
    At the highest point of the emblematic city of Cartagena de Indias is the first fortress and surveillance point. We will be able to see it for much of the way and as we get closer we will appreciate its imposing presence.
  7. Mercado de Bazurto
    1h
    We will enter the fascinating culinary world of the Bazurto Market; visited by ANTHONY BOURDAIN during his search for real Cartagena food for the filming of "No Reservations".
    There we will delight ourselves with the flavors of an exotic cuisine, but accessible to the most humble diners. We will discover the flavors that are part of the culinary art of an almost mythical place where very few tourists access. Your palate will be impressed with the condiments and cooking style of Cecilia Restaurant and others around it.
    That's why Culinary Critic and Chef Anthony Bourdain made it his favorite during his trips to Colombia!
  8. 10m
    This community near the Bazurto Market where some of those who work diligently live is one of the expressions of a v
