Cartagena’s Great Center Walking Tour: Downtown & Getsemani – Cartagena, Colombia

EXPERIENCE:

Explore both historical districts in one tour! Visiting both Santo Domingo and Getsemaní districts will give you a bigger picture about how our lives during colonial times were divided by social classes but connected for achieving local independence. We will experience Cartagena in a different way once we cross the Camellón de los Mártires square, the antique bridge that allowed two sides of the society to come together and build a proper identity.

Revolts, independence, revolutions and uprisings are the basis of a resistant and fighting Colombian culture that you will be able to see and feel. Travel through time, step the historical path of freedom and be part of the essence of “La Fantástica”. Cross from north to south until San Felipe Fortress viewpoint and understand the mighty power Cartageneros keep, the jewel of the old Spanish Crown.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS:

Santo Domingo square and Botero sculpture
San Pedro Claver sanctuary and monument
Centennial Park and Sierpe Street
“Ancho” and “angosto” alleys
Gentrification of “getsemanicenses”
