I’ve lived in Cartagena long enough to know that its magic lies not only in the cobblestone streets and colorful balconies, but also in the warmth of its people. I love wandering through the Centro’s charming streets, camera in hand, capturing little moments of daily life. You’ll often find me exploring the lively corners of Getsemaní or the quieter beauty of Manga, both neighborhoods I know inside out. I’m always excited to share Cartagena’s fascinating history and vibrant culture, whether we’re visiting a museum or sampling street food from a hidden spot only locals frequent. For me, hosting is about connection - laughs, stories, and discovering the city together in a way that feels both personal and fun.

Cartagena’s warmth and vibrant energy are what make it so special - the joy of its people, its rich gastronomy, and the romantic charm of the Historic Center create a city you’ll want to keep exploring. I love spending sunny days at the beach, from the Rosario Islands to La Boquilla, enjoying fresh seafood, cold drinks, and lively local scenes. I’m also a fan of shopping and entertainment at Caribe Plaza and Mall Plaza, where there’s always something happening. With a deep knowledge of Centro Histórico, Bocagrande, and the surrounding areas, I love helping visitors craft unforgettable, affordable experiences – whether it’s a relaxing beach day, a culinary adventure, or discovering the city’s hidden gems.

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.
After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.
Your experience will still go ahead, and your host will adapt the day to suit the conditions. One of the great things about City Unscripted is that no two experiences are the same, and your host knows the city well enough to find great “rainy day” alternatives.
