Founded in 1533 on an original indigenous Caribe settlement, the Spanish conquistador Don Pedro de Heredia founded the city of “Cartagena de Poniente” to distinguish it from “Cartagena de Levante” in Spain.

Just spending a single afternoon strolling through its narrow yet remarkable streets is enough to understand why Cartagena is in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From art to culture, gastronomy to nature, this city is a must-see. This colonial area is split into three zones, the Centro, San Diego (both inside the wall city) and Getsemaní.
