Cartagena de Indias, a colonial port city on Colombia s Caribbean coast, is a vibrant destination filled with cultural and historical attractions. Visitors can explore the Old Town and Getsemani neighborhoods, which offer cobblestone streets, opulent mansions, and churches. Highlights include walking tours, street food tastings, watching the sunset from the city walls, dining on Caribbean cuisine, and experiencing the nightlife.
Our driver, Xavier, had every turn memorized. His consistent driving, along with his Renault Duster, was commendable and trustworthy. It was our 5.30am morning ride to Pereira’s airport, and he was navigating us through a torrential storm. To our surprise, Colombia’s roads were excellent (except, well, those of Bogota). We visited Colombia with our three year-old to see our best.
