Cartagena is one of the most visited cities in the Americas: tourists flock here to enjoy the Caribbean climate, historic Walled City and gorgeous nearby beaches.

Ich komme aus Deutschland und war bereits zwei mal in Cartagena / Kolumbien. Dies ist nach meiner Meinung der beste Platz der Welt. Es sind vor allem die Menschen, die mit ihrer Gelassenheit und Freundlichkeit die Stadt präsentieren. Die Skyline am Strand bilden einen totalen Kontrast zur zauberhaften Altstadt im spanischen Stil. Ich habe mich sofort heimisch gefühlt. Alles ist umwerfend. Das Meer, die Temperaturen und natürlich nicht zu vergessen die Restaurants mit ihren unterschiedlichen Speiseangeboten. Würde ich mich trauen auszuwandern, dann hierher. Cartagena - der Platz zum leben und zu sterben. Ich liebe Cartagena ❤️

What an amazing city!!! Built in the 1500s, Cartagena has tons of history and loads of glam. Btw, Cartagena's better beaches are about 20-30 minutes away from the city center. Baru and Rosario Islands (about 25 islands) have white sands and crystal clear/blue water.

Cartagena is beautiful. We visited there before the pandemic and we really enjoyed the walking in the streets and watched the beautiful sunset. Watching this video brings back beautiful memories there. Will definitely come back.

Thank you for sharing. I am planning a trip to Colombia.

Thank you for this most informative video. I am investigating Columbia for place to visit every year during my retirement. I had considered Cartagena as the best spot because of the availability of the waterfront and the inexpensive flights from the US. But the quality of the water and the swim mobility was of paramount importance to me. I’m glad that you explained to me that the sand is this kind of stuff in the water is murky. that’s exactly what I experienced in Ecuador. So maybe I will consider different places in Columbia and maybe one or two day visit to her Cartia and then venturing out further to find that perfect beach life that I’m looking for
