Start your day with a scenic drive to Getsemaní, where you'll visit a charming cultural venue. Enjoy a coffee-tasting session led by a local expert — a sensory experience that teaches you how to appreciate good joe in a country where coffee is king.
During a cooking demonstration, a local chef explains how to prepare typical Cartagena dishes with super-fresh ingredients. What do you think?
In the Old City, taste a few of Cartagena's traditional foods, including some that inspired and appeared in the novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez — Colombia's Nobel Prize laureate for literature.
No visit to Cartagena is complete without discovering the wonders of the Walled City. Take a guided walk within the walls, and your guide will point out Plaza Bolívar, Plaza San Pedro, the cathedral, and other highlights. Enjoy some free time to explore on your own.
Next, board a catamaran for a one-hour scenic cruise on Cartagena Bay, featuring live music and an open bar. This makes for a great waterside perspective.
Afterward, return to the ship by coach.
