Plaza de La Trinidad, Cartagena, Colombia We start our tour in this amazing place which is one of the best places in Getsemaní. It was the main point of meeting of the people in the colonial times. 3 minutes

Museo precolombino de la esmeralda, Cartagena, Colombia As part of this unforgettable experience, you’ll visit the Emerald Museum, where you’ll dive into the fascinating history of Colombian emeralds—one of the country’s most renowned exports.
Did you know?
Emeralds are rare gems found in only a few places worldwide, including Zambia, Zimbabwe, Russia, and Brazil. However, Colombia is the global leader, producing a stunning 60% of the world’s emeralds.
⛏️ Discover the Mines
Colombia’s emeralds come from three iconic mining regions: Muzo, Coscuez, and Chivor. Each produces emeralds with unique qualities that make them truly one of a kind. 15 minutes
Plaza de la Aduana, Cartagena, Colombia In this square we will find architectural constructions from colonial times, between them, the Marquez de Premio Real house, a typical colonial beauty from the 18th century. A great spot for beautiful shots. 5 minutes
Torre del Reloj, Cartagena, Colombia This place was the ancient entrance to the walled city. So we will learn about how this spot worked as the division of the city in economical terms. 15 minutes
Catedral Santa Catalina de Alejandria, Cartagena, Colombia The Cathedral of Cartagena is a majestic place with an incomparable attractive beauty.
Its construction began in 1575, but in 1586, when only the tower remained to be built, the pirtata Francis Drake partially destroyed it. The resumption of construction took place between 1598 and 1612 with the additions of various things, such as the very high Florentine-style dome and the addition of marble on the main facade. You definitely want to have a photo taken in here. 5 minutes
Casa del Marquez de Valdehoyos, Cartagena, Colombia Before reaching the Wall through Calle de la Factoria, you can see an excellent example of an aristocrat's house, the Casa del Marquez de Valdehoyos, which mentions the well-living of the previous colonial nobility with splendid rooms, patios and gardens.
This house was built during the 17th century by the Marquis of Valdehoyos who had the privilege of importing slaves and flour.
Parque de Bolívar, El Centro, Cartagena de Indias, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia Located in the heart of the historic center of Cartagena, this park is adorned with majestic trees and surprisingly tall. Water fountains bring great freshness to urbanists and visitors to rely on containers made of sprouts.
In the midst of this vegetation is built the statue of the liberator Simon Bolivar, sitting on his horse, which was inaugurated on November 11, 1896. During the tour around the park, several interesting places are present to take great photographies. 5 minutes
Plaza de San Pedro Claver, Cra. 4 #30-01, Centro, Cartagena de Indias, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia The Jesuits created the construction of the monastery and church of San Pedro Claver in the 17th century, and it was originally called San Ignacio de Loyola. The facade of the church was made, like most of the buildings of the old city, in coral stones, which are famous in the region. If you visit Cartagena, you definitely have to have a photo taken in this place. 15 minutes
Baluarte de San Ignacio, Cartagena, Colombia This is an strategical corner to have a great view of the city. Definitely a great place for an amazing shot.
The first wall built in this section was built on Jesuit land, the religious ended up drilling the wall and building their college and cloister on it, thus invalidating its defensive function. After a dispute that lasted thirty years, it was decided to move the wall to the outside by creating a street that would allow the walkway between the school and the future wall, with the Company in charge of paying the costs of the new construction. 15 minutes

This tour was amazing, Charlie was very intentional about each site and through the stories / history told it’s evident he’s knowledgeable about each building and the significance it brings to Cartagena, Colombia. Charlie went above and beyond! Customer service is superb and the professionalism is outstanding! My photos? AMAZING! The editing is perfect as I am satisfied with the product and service.
Charlie even made sure I got home safety ! wow ! That speaks volume to his character! Just had to throw that in here. This tour is safe and having a safe person conducting any activity is extremely important & I think a key component of safety.
