THE
DESTINATION

 

CARTAGENA​
​

Located on the northern coast of the South American continent, this city is one of Colombia's most beautiful. The old town centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site and offers visitors plenty to see and do, including impressive Gothic cathedrals, whitewashed colonial houses, museums, and colorful street markets. There are also many beautiful beaches with stunning views of the sea or surrounding islands such as La Boquilla and El Molino

 

Cartagena attracts lovers of history, arts and music with its cobbled streets, ornate Spanish cathedrals and spicy cuisine. The fine beaches of Santa Marta are also popular spots for holidaymakers looking for sun-soaked getaways.
