Cartagena, from the inside
Cartagena de Indias sits on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. Its colonial walled city and fortresses have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984, and the neighbourhoods around them each have their own character. These guides are written from the city and updated when things change.
