A Heart for Community
Connect with the heart and soul of a vibrant community. Whether you're meeting friendly locals, encountering heirloom cultures, engaging with Native peoples, exploring hidden corners, or discovering beloved eateries, let lasting memories begin with warmth, hospitality, and genuine connection.
Immerse yourself in the history and traditions of the Afro-descendant community of La Boquilla, where drums set the rhythm of a vibrant and resilient heritage. You will visit the Batambora Project — an initiative led by young local entrepreneurs committed to sustainable community development. Enjoy a live demonstration of traditional drumming and dance, followed by an interactive percussion class. This interaction is designed to promote genuine cultural exchange and appreciation for the intangible heritage of authentic Afro-Caribbean culture.
Discover Cartagena's Walled City on a guided walking tour through iconic plazas and colonial streets. Your expert guide shares valuable insights into the city's architectural and cultural history. You will have free time to explore on your own, purchase authentic handicrafts, and admire the city's famous flower-adorned balconies.
To conclude, enjoy a panoramic drive through modern Cartagena and return to the pier.
