For several hundred years this Spanish Colonial city in the sun was Spain’s treasure chest on the Spanish Main. Today it is the perfect destination for vacationers arriving by air, for cruise ship guests and yacht cruisers alike. Sir Francis Drake once walked its streets and plazas; but here he was a pirate, not a knight.
Whether you travel by air or sea, Cartagena is a shopper’s paradise as well as a World Heritage Site. Emeralds, coffee, cigars, pre-Columbian art, and world-class leather goods entice you. This warm vacation destination offers accommodations and dining for all visitors, from backpackers to the elite. The nightlife is endless fun. And don’t forget the romance of that stone.
