What to do when visting Columbia Cartagena



Top Five things to do 

1.Go to the Old town 



When I went there, I stayed till midnight just riding around admiring the city, usually there are horse carriages that take you in for the typical tour,the beauty there is unexplainable, and there are really nice restaurants there that look like they were taken out of a fairy tale.






2. Jet Ski on the Beach






3 Tour Castillo San Felipe de Barajas

Castillio San Felipe de Barajas is an iconic part of the Cartagena city scape. The fortress was built by the Spanish during the colonial era, construction beginning in 1536. It is built up on a hill, securing a strategic location to defend both sea and land attacks. The fortress gives a great foray into the history of Cartagena, and is worth visiting one of the first days you arrive!







4.  Try some street food
Cartagena has a plethora of tantalizing tastes for you. The most common item is the arepa, a corn cake covered in cheese. Then there's the delicious fresh juices, a favorite being coco-limonada. At night, Jeremy and I found the sweetest little empanada spot








5. Sample Colombia's #1 coffee, San Alberto

If you are a coffee lover, you can't miss Cafe San Alberto! San Alberto coffee, started in 1972 in Colombia, has won multiple international awards. Known as some of the best coffee in the world, this sweet cafe offers legit pour over coffee that will have you coming back each day
