What travelers think of our Flexible Full-Day Discovery experiences in South America
What you’ll do
Discover pulsating Cartagena in a day tailored to you, like seeing cultures from across the world meet outside the fortified Old Town entrance, a stage for bambuco guitarists and palanquera women selling tropical fruit. Escape the heat to leafy Bolívar Square to see a statue of Simón Bolívar, pose at a hidden pink courthouse, and grab some luck from artist Fernando Botero's Fat Gertrude. For lunch, maybe try a traditional seafood dish from a spot locals love, before admiring the historic Cathedral of Cartagena. In the afternoon, visit dungeons-turned-market Las Bóvedas, then see once seedy neighborhood turned charming Getsemani, a treasure trove of street art inspired by local legends. End the day with a sunset view from a white sandy beach in swanky barrio Bocagrande.
