Cartagena Where on earth

Rich Heritage and Exotic Locale

A fine example of Spanish colonial architecture in South America, Cartagena is one of the most beautiful cities in Colombia and one of the oldest in the New World. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Cartagena has all the ingredients for an extraordinary vacation: enclosed within stone fortifications, this colonial city offers cultural riches, modern and luxurious hotels, beautiful beaches, restaurants for all tastes, exciting excursions and a vibrant nightlife.

Built on islands in the Bahía de Cartagena that were artificially linked together, the city of Cartagena is located on the very jagged Caribbean coast of Colombia, which stretches over 1,600km and features a large number of bays. The most important port city of Colombia and the country's most popular tourist destination is now home to more than 1 million people.
