Originally called "Cartagena de Indias," Cartagena is one of the oldest cities in Colombia and an important port for the country.

The city is like a colonial treasure trove available to the public, but it has much more to offer than just history and culture. The Old Town of Cartagena is a Unesco World Heritage Site, and it is a labyrinth of cobbled streets, balconies draped with bougainvillea, and massive churches whose shadows fall across plazas of lush vegetation.

From the island's pier, you can take the free tram to any of the island's beaches. Guests have their pick of a wide variety of beaches, both ocean- and lagoon-facing, each with its own unique character.
