Overview of your Cartagena tour

When you go back home from your trip, a way to prove you were in Cartagena, Colombia, is pictures along with local souvenirs. Colombia is well known for its top exports such as coffee, beautiful flowers, bananas, oil, gold and the famously sought after Colombian emeralds among others. Over 60% of the world production of emeralds is from Colombia. Cartagena being a major tourist destination for people from all over the world, offers you the magic of its historical legacy, landmarks, culture, and opportunity to shop for souvenirs and other items of your interest. Scenes of the old film "Romancing the stone" were shot in Cartagena, starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Merchandise at shops visited is guaranteed and certified. This tour is perfectly suited for tourists interested in shopping for handicrafts, coffee (grounds, beans), clothing, items, jewelry (emerald, gold, silver), and souvenirs in general. City Highlights can be included if customized upon request.
