Overview

Discover the essence of Cartagena by walking through its streets full of history, color and life. This tour takes you through the vibrant neighborhood of Gethsemane and the charming Historical Center of Cartagena, two settings where tradition and everyday meet naturally.

You will taste flavors that are part of the daily freshly prepared crispy Carthaginian patacón, coastal cheese with its unmistakable salty character, soft and fresh bonus bread, typical sweets made with coconut and tropical fruits, artisan boli perfect for the Caribbean climate, fresh seasonal fruits and a cup of authentic Colombian coffee. Each tasting is designed to connect with the local culture from the simplest and most genuine.

As we walk, we will tell you about our history, how African, indigenous and Spanish heritage shaped a unique gastronomic identity.

It is not only a gastronomic tour, it is a close and relaxed way to understand the city.
