Reminiscent of the Caribbean, Cartagena is a city full of lively sights and vibrant colors that have attracted visitors for centuries. The city, with its historical walls and some of the best weather around, offers something special for every kind of traveler.
Cartagena is quickly becoming a must-see among Black travelers. As a former port for the slave trade, Cartagena is rich in African culture and influence.
