Cartagena Vacation Guide

Cartagena is a large Caribbean seaport and a popular tourist destination on the north coast of Colombia. Due to its tropical location, Catagena’s climate changes very little.

Cartagena was founded in 1533. A few years later, the Spanish constructed a walled fortress to protect them from English, Dutch and French pirates. Its old Walled City is one of the few urban places around the world that is still completely surrounded by thick walls. Inside the walls remains a fully restored gorgeous Spanich architectural town with upscale shopping, restaurants, bars and small courtsize parks.

San Felipe de Barajas castle is the most formidable defensive complex built by Spanish military engineering in the New World. Its interior is a weave of tunnels, galleries and traps, with an intricate system of communications and routes of escape.

Cartagena means, crystal clear waters of the Caribbean, wonderful colonial architecture, delicious exotic fruits, perfect sea food, warm weather, warm blooded people, and more and more.
