Fernando shares a couple of reasons for visiting Cartagena, Colombia
🇨🇴 Buenos Tardes, Friends! My travel partners are always sharing tips and reasons for visiting their destination. They have the insider knowledge, expertise, and the passion to help personalize and realize the travel wishes of my clients.
I wandered the streets of Cartagena’s historic centre, a UNESCO world heritage site, with Fernando, a fascinating expert guide and someone who grew up in the Cartagena neighborhood of Getsemani. He shared his personal stories and we talked about the city’s culture, food, and people. We explored the colorful streets of Getsemani and walked through his old neighborhood. He pointed out how people love to play dominos and parchessi (we walked by several games in session), and we stopped at the local market to sample his favorite snacks. Colombians love pastries!
We also stopped by the legendary Cafe Havana Bar so I could get a sneak peek inside (Fernando has connections)
Afterwards, he walked me back to my boutique hotel, a former 17th century mansion, then a high school, which is located within the walled city of Cartagena de Indias.
I highly recommend hiring an experienced, local private guide when experiencing a destination. They have the insider knowledge and perspective on the local history, impact, traditions, cultural celebrations. They can share hidden gems and their own personal stories to really bring the essence of a location to life.
Gracias to Fernando and the Galavanta team for the warm hospitality and for making my stay in Cartagena so memorable!
