Details of the city tour of Cartagena in vehicle and carriage
One of the most enjoyable, comfortable and easy ways to visit
Cartagena de Indias is to use a vehicle to pick you up at your cruise
ship or hotel to visit the remote sites of the Popa Convent and San
Felipe de Barajas Castle and then use a horse-drawn carriage to visit
the historic center which usually takes over two hours of walking.
No matter how long you visit the city, the heat is constantly present
and walking for more than two hours is often exhausting and
frustrating. However, traveling through the city of Cartagena by
air-conditioned vehicle and the historic center by horse-drawn
carriage, you can not only relax and rest, but also see and photograph
many more things about the charm of Cartagena.
You will see magnificent flower-filled balconies, majestic churches,
marvelous squares and parks, impressive colonial architecture, iconic
monuments, entertainment and folk dances, small stops for tasting,
drinking or buying, and friendly people to meet.
Here is a complete and pleasant city tour!
Cartagena de Indias was founded on June 1, 1533 by Pedro Heredia and became prosperous because of the export of gold, emeralds and other riches. Its imposing fortifications are still solid today and the colonial architecture of houses, government buildings and churches helped the city to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.
