Panoramic Cartagena

San Felipe de Barajas Fort, Old Town & Modern Bocagrande Discover Cartagena’s past and present during a panoramic tour of this major port city. Drive with your guide to the impressive San Felipe de Barajas Fort to view its exterior. Construction began on this remarkable UNESCO site in 1536, and the fort took a total of 121 years to build. Continue to the Old City for a visit to the dungeons within the walled city. Originally built to store military provisions, today they house an upscale handicrafts market selling brightly colored cloth, woodwork and woven bags made by the Indigenous people of the region. Spend time browsing the wares made by these artisans, and if you choose, join your guide for an optional walking tour. Afterward, take a scenic drive through Bocagrande, a chic and modern beach area that mixes luxury apartments with deluxe hotels and trendy cafés. Your tour will conclude back at your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
