Walled City (Ciudad Amurallada) Walk
Cartagena, Colombia
About This Activity
Cartagena's Ciudad Amurallada is one of the best-preserved colonial cities in the Americas, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 13km of ramparts encircle pastel-hued mansions draped in bougainvillea, grand plazas, and centuries-old churches. Explore the historic center on foot — Plaza de los Coches, Plaza de Bolívar, the Cathedral, and countless inviting alleyways. Late afternoon walking in the golden hour light is spectacular. The walled city is compact and completely walkable.
