    Cartagena 1; Historic City Centre and Getsemani

    November 12 in Colombia ☁️ 32 °C

    Cartagena was founded by Spanish Conquistadors in 1533 and was a key trading port during Spanish rule. The original city was enclosed within walls, and our Explore tour guide, Elcy, takes us on a walking tour from our hotel (Hotel 3 Banderas) through the historic city centre and then outside the city walls to the colourful and hip area of Getsemani. It is an extremely interesting and colourful walk (and very hot, too); see captions on photos for points of interest on the walk.Read more
