Historical Walking Tour of Cartagena de Indias

On this tour we will explore the most beautiful squares, churches and streets of the walled city, and I'll even show you the materials used to make the city's walls. Prepare to travel back in time and uncover the history of Cartagena de Indias. We'll talk about the "Africans", the inquisition and the independence of Cartagena, but I'll also tell you some incredible pirate's stories from these lands! Together we will immerse ourselves in the rich culture and traditions that remain present in the city to this day! On a personal note, although my last name is Spanish, I am Carthaginian with African roots. In Cartagena, the population is a combination between indigenous, Africans, Spaniards and Portuguese.
