Your private excursion transportation and guide will be waiting for you just outside your ship in Cartagena to get you going on your fun day. The guide will give you information, history, and stories about Cartagena, its culture, and its people.
Your first sightseeing excursion stop will be at the top of Cerro de la Popa where you will have a 360-degree view of the whole city of Cartagena and the countryside surrounding it. Then you will head to San Felipe Fort, which was designated as a World Heritage Site. This historic fort helped protect the city from invaders and pirates who were after the treasures the Spanish had plundered and stashed away in Cartagena.
You will also see some traditional neighborhoods including the famous Getsemani area. This is where the slave quarters used to be and is now the most traditional neighborhood in Cartagena full of locals. The Old City, as this area is also known, has narrow streets and open plazas. You will also stop at Plaza Santo Domingo to view the famous sculpture by Fernando Botero, La Gordita, Plaza de la Aduana, Plaza de Bolivar, Plaza de Santa Teresa. Please let your Cartagena cruise excursion guide know about specific sites you would like to visit on this excursion.
On the must-see list is your next private shore excursion stop at the Gold Museum where you will see the many pieces on display dating back to pre-Colombian culture. There are numerous pieces of jewelry, pottery, and lithic stone.
You will have time to take a walk through Old Town and stop to try some famous Colombian coffee, shop for hand-crafted items, leather goods, antiques, or maybe even a Colombian Emerald! Your private Cartagena shore excursion guide will deliver you back to the cruise pier after your excursion is completed.
