Destination Profile
¡Ay, caramba! Cartagena is a city primed to wow and surprise. Its colonial El Centro rises with coral-stone chapels and Baroque palazzos that date back 500 years. Below those are plazas that thrum with Caribbean life and energy, sporting cantinas that bounce with cumbia dancers and mojitos. The outlines of the Castillo de San Felipe herald tales of pirate conflicts and colonialism above the city. And then come the beaches, which sparkle sugar-white on the Islas del Rosario and beyond. These days, cheap flights to Cartagena from USA can even go direct from major hubs like NYC and Miami, while plenty of deals come with airlines that include a stopover on the way down south.
El Centro is where Cartagena is at its most charming – think colorful Caribbean buildings and colonial streets filled with flowers.
The muscular citadel of Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas was built by the Spanish in the 1530s. It's now an enthralling landmark of the town, with a rich history of sieges and attacks.
Colombia hits stunning heights with the resplendent Rosario Islands, where mangroves give way to snorkeling coves and bright beaches.
