Your Travel Experience with South American Tours DMC
Explore the historic center and stroll through the cobblestone streets, past important landmarks, pastel-colored colonial buildings and the famous clock tower. As you stroll through the winding streets and hidden squares, you will discover the rich history and charm of Cartagena. Enter the Sanctuary of San Pedro Claver, which was founded by the Jesuits in the 17th century. Admire the stone façade of the three-storey building, the stained glass windows and the ornate marble work. Inside, you can admire a wealth of artifacts, including religious art, pre-Columbian ceramics and Afro-Caribbean paintings and masks. Afterwards, drive to the San Felipe de Barajas fortress. Strategically located on the San Lázaro hill, the fortress was built by the Spanish from 1536 and extended in 1657. Learn more about the networked tunnel system and walk through some of the tunnels.
**Note: The entrance fees to the fortress, guide and transfers are included in the price. The order of the tour may change. We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes to walk through the old town.
