    Our starting point! We will offer you useful information to know before our tour and get to know us.

    We will take beautiful and impressive photos of the beautiful Bay of Cartagena, very little visited by tourists, but very visited by boat owners.
    We will share curious and updated data about the Bay of Cartagena and the Island of Manga.
  3. Fuerte de San Sebastian del Pastelillo
    10m
    We will make a photo stop to take a photo in front of the fort's sentry box (guard post) that protected Manga Island and the water channel to 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 ourselves 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 Cartagenera food for the filming of "No Reservations".
    There we will delight ourselves with the flavors of 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 the 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. Pass by
    This community near the Bazurto Market where some of the market workers, fishermen, butchers, shopkeepers and others live.
    As we walk through its streets, we will discover the way of life of the true resident of the humble communities of Cartagena.
