This tour takes you off the typical Cartagena tourist experiences and immerses you in the local history and culture of the Zenu. Wonderful tour of the Museo del Oro but the best was actually visiting a local woman's workshop where they are securing future of the Zenu weaving crafts. After spending time there I guarantee you'll have a greater appreciation of indigenous crafts and what it takes to keep those skills and their culture alive.
