Highlights of Cartagena, Fortress & Las Bovedas

CTG-100 | Cartagena, Colombia |
Your tour begins as you board your transportation for a scenic 15-minute drive through the Manga residential area to Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas (Fort of San Felipe). En route, you'll witness "Republican" architecture and several mansions restored to their original splendor.

Upon arriving at the magnificent fortress, you'll quickly see why Cartagena was the most impenetrable city of the Spanish Main. This 17th-century construction is the largest Spanish fort in the New World, representing the most important work of Spanish military engineering in South America. A must-see is the tunnel system meant to facilitate supply and evacuation of the fortress.

Your next stop is Las Bóvedas, once dungeons, now home to boutiques and tourist shops. Shopping for handicrafts and works of art by local artisans is on the itinerary, as is a visit to Baluarte de Santa Catalina (Santa Catalina's bastion) atop Las Bovedas for view the Caribbean Sea.

Next you'll visit the famed Old City, a walled city with narrow streets and well-tended Spanish Colonial buildings. The city is connected by a series of bridges and divided by 17th-century walls into an "historic old city" and a cosmopolitan "modern city." Many local bars and restaurants in the old walled city's compact historic core, a UNESCO World Heritage site, remain its shining centerpiece. You'll stroll to the 18th century Palacio de la Inquisicíon, a fine example of colonial architecture, yet an eerie reminder of "dark" days gone by. The Palace façade features grilles and balcony, colonial-style, and a gate reflective of the baroque style. Behind the charming façade, a museum displays instruments of torture from the Spanish Inquisition, pre-Columbian, colonial and independence-era art.

You'll wander the narrow cobblestone streets and city squares of the Old City, including Plaza de San Pedro. Within sight is San Pedro Claver Church. Built in the 17th century, the church displays exquisite statues and old-world furnishings honoring the missionary Saint Peter Claver, the patron saint of slaves and the first saint canonized in the Western Hemisphere.

After visiting historic sites, you'll make your way to the modern residential area of Bocagrande and the Pierino Gallo Shopping Center, noted for its emerald stores, leather goods and coffee. Your tour concludes with a walk back to your transportation and the drive back to the pier.
