⭐ Free Tour of the Great Center of Cartagena: Walled City and Getsemani
Tour description
Visit the Greater Cartagena Center: the neighborhoods of Santo Domingo and Getsemaní together in a single tour!
Visiting the districts of Santo Domingo and Getsemaní will give you a broader idea of how our lives during colonial times were divided by social classes but connected to achieve local independence.
We will experience Cartagena in a different way once we cross the Camellón de los Mártires square, the old bridge that allowed the two sides of society to unite and build their own identity.
Uprisings , independence , revolutions and uprisings are the basis of a resilient and fighting Colombian culture that you will be able to see and feel. Travel back in time, follow the historic path of freedom and be part of the essence of “La Fantástica” .
Cross from north to south to the viewpoint of the San Felipe Fortress and understand the great power held by the people of Cartagena, the jewel of the ancient Spanish Crown.
