Your guide will meet you at your hotel. They'll then introduce you to the highlights of Cartagena de Indias. You'll explore Bocagrande, Castillogrande, and the bay of Cartagena de Indias. Head on to the convention centre, the Pegazos Pier, and the Clock Tower. See the Manga residential neighbourhood and the statue of India Catalina, an indigenous child kidnapped and educated by Spanish colonists. Continue your tour of the city with a stop at the sculpture of los Zapatos Viejos to take some photos.

Your guide will then take you on a tour of San Felipe Castle and the fort of San Sebastián de Pastelillo, which was used during the colonial period to defend the bay from potential enemies. Next, explore the historic district, which is home to the Bolivar Park and the Zenu Gold Museum. Your visit will finish up in a jewellery shop offering excellent quality emeralds. Relax on the drive back to your hotel at the end of the tour.
