I was born and raised in Cartagena. About 14 years ago, I became a tour guide after discovering the rich and fascinating history of my town. I felt a strong desire to share the stories of our native people and the historical events that shaped our city. Visitors were eager to learn about the roots and background of Cartagena, and I realized I could be an excellent guide, driven by my passion for history. Learning about Cartagena's past made me fall in love with my hometown all over again, and today, I am proud to have been born in such a remarkable place. I invite you to explore the many wonders of Cartagena, from its history and culture to its arts and folklore. I offer various tour options, including private city tours, walking tours, and museum tours. This is your opportunity to discover the true history of Cartagena.

Cartagena, situated near the Caribbean Sea on the northeastern coast of Colombia, is a stunning city with a population of approximately 1.5 million people. Amidst this bustling urban landscape lies a hidden gem known as La Boquilla, a beautiful village where you can immerse yourself in the rich biodiversity of the region, surrounded by diverse flora, fauna, and various types of mangroves. The local people of La Boquilla are truly remarkable. They are skilled fishermen, carrying on their traditions through generations. During our visit, we will have the unique opportunity to join them in their daily lives, learning firsthand about their fishing techniques, witnessing the artistry involved in crafting canoes and tents a heritage passed down from their ancestors, who were revered artisans in their own right.
Pick up from the port / hotel or cruise terminal. Drive along the neighbourhood of Manga. Seeing the wall city and the fortress that makes Cartagena a charming city and powerful place.
