We provide an authentic experience of Cartagena culture beyond its historical walls, reflecting the progress of Cartagena de Indias post the Spanish crown.
Our journey starts by taking a regular local bus to the public market, where your senses will be enveloped by the diverse sights, sounds, and tastes that greet our arrival. We’ll explore a variety of local delights such as Guarapo, the refreshing neighborhood drink, Costenita, the local beer, and much more. We’ll delve deeply into the African influence seen in Cartagena’s food and music. It’s worth noting that Cartagena has its unique music genre, Champeta, lead mainly by drums and guitars, which we will undoubtedly introduce you to. Understanding the history and evolution of this striking city will endow you with a different perception of us. We’ll conclude our exploration at the same spot where Anthony Bourdain dined during his visit to our city, feasting on delectable dishes that are a part of our Caribbean cuisine.
