[Save + Share] 🇨🇴THINGS TO DO IN CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA 🇨🇴The fam and I spent three glorious weeks in Cartagena last year and it was a vibe! Its tropical climes, long stretches of beautiful beaches, and lower cost of living made an extended visit an attractive possibility for our nomadic family.

Cartagena is also the center of Afro-Colombian culture, which meant this Caribbean gyal felt right at home. ✊🏾

So here are some of my recs for what to see, do, eat, and experience in Cartagena: 

🇨🇴 EXPLORE/VISIT: Historic walled city; San Felipe castle; neighborhoods of Getsemani, Bocagrande, Manga

🇨🇴 ACTIVITIES: Sunset cruise; boat tours to Rosario Island and Playa Blanca; Isla Baru, National Aviary

🇨🇴EAT & DRINK: Mar y Zielo; Hotel Movich; La Cevicheria; Lena y Carbon; Morena Restaurante; Bar 1805; Epoca [Sidebar: there are so many amazing places to eat that I might have to make a separate post 😅)

🇨🇴EXPERIENCE: Tour to Palenque to learn more about Afro-Colombian history and culture; cooking class and market tour; dance the night away in a retrofitted Chiva party bus; horse-drawn carriage ride at sunset around historic center 

🇨🇴STAY: Choose accommodation within the walled city for shorter stays. For longer visits, vacation rental apartments around the Bocagrande area are where its at! We did this but I wouldn’t recommend the condo we rented because we had an ant infestation.😅

Have you been to Cartagena and/or are interested in going?

P.S.: Colombia is beautiful, y’all. It’s so unfair that most people don’t get to experience it due to outdated perceptions about the country.

P.S.S.: it’s ColOmbia with an “O”, not Columbia. Just a minor pet peeve of mine…😜
