You’re going to love Cartagena
Cartagena de Indias is one of the most beautiful cities on the Caribbean. Its walled old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a maze of colourful colonial houses, flower-covered balconies and lively squares, with a modern skyline rising next to it on the Bocagrande peninsula.
And behind the city lies a sea of turquoise water. In under an hour a speedboat takes you to the Rosario Islands and their beach clubs, and at sunset a catamaran crosses the bay with the Walled City glowing in the golden light.
