Cartagena, Columbia is a beautiful city that you can easily get swept away in because there is so much to see. Because it has become such a tourist location there are many ways you can go about seeing everything- walking tours, horse and carriage tours, boat trips, or some combination of all of those.

In Cartagena, I booked a street food tour because that’s where all of the food emphasis is in this city. That’s not to say there aren’t some great restaurants; it’s just that street food is where you’ll find the standout recipes that are likely passed down through families, generations and years of tradition.

Cartagena, Colombia is an absolutely breathtaking city that is very much vivid and lively. From the famous Palenqueras to the Arabic architecture to the aromatic street food, it is an adventurer’s dream. There’s so much to discover and the locals don’t mind helping you do it.
