Cartagena Beach, Colombia

Cartagena Beach, Colombia

At the very north of  South America, in Colombia, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, is Cartagena de Indias. Founded in the sixteenth century during the Spanish dominion, the walls surrounding the city were built. It was one of the most powerful ports of America. 

Cartagena de Indias is one of the most beautiful cities of the world, a jewel of colonial architecture that's been declared a patrimony of humanity. Walking through the old part of the city is to discover history.  

The best beaches of Cartagena are in Bocagrande, which is the most important tourist area. The archipelago that surrounds its coast, as well as the Rosario islands, with transparent water that softly touch the white sand coasts and coral reefs, form a landscape comparable to paradise. 

Its ports welcome thousands of tourists arriving in cruise ships, who come to this land to enjoy the historical, cultural and tourist attractions of this beautiful Caribbean city. 

Cartagena is the ideal place for diving, snorkling, and all types of water sports. The variety offered by Cartagena allows us to alternate visits to historical places with walks to the beaches and visits to the islands. 

At night, you can enjoy a good walk through the old city, illuminated by colonial lanterns, stop by the bars, cafés, restaurants, or try your luck at the casinos on Arsenal Street or on Corralito de Piedra street.

From Bogota to Cartagena de Indias the flight lasts 1.4 hours. The Rafael Núñez International Airport is located 10 minutes from the city center, and 15 minutes from the Bocagrande hotels.
