Cartagena, Columbia

Really liked Cartagena and would love to come back to experience it as more than a cruising tourist, the architecture, people and nature have so much to offer..

Wouldn't come via the Port and the 'zoo' though.. I have included a number of pictures and videos for only one reason, to hopefully dissuade you from going there 🫣 I struggle with this type of captivity and even more so when it's been deliberately created for the tourist.. the spaces these creatures get to inhabit is smaller than a shoebox in comparison to their natural environment, let alone a sanctuary or even any zoo that I've witnessed.. yet they have sloth, giant anteaters, turtles, flamingos, monkeys, mackaw and so many other birds..

Anyway, each to their own.. if it's your thing then you'll be stoked to get so close to these beautiful creatures I'm sure, because that seems to be what everyone else on the cruise remembered..Read more
