Cast all of your outdated ideas aside - like drug wars and gangsters - and you'll find that Colombia is a nation brimming with confidence and rushing headfirst into a more peaceful and prosperous future. In this land of contrasts, you'll encounter snow-capped Andean peaks, tropical Amazonian jungles, turquoise Caribbean coasts, and two sun-kissed deserts. You'll also find a host of spectacular attractions at the places in between, from the bustling cities of Bogotá and Medellin to the quiet colonial village of Mompox. Above all else, the famous Colombian hospitality will undoubtedly find you coming back for more.

Now back to Cartagena, here are some more tips:
1)Walk The Old City
There are three main neighbourhoods in old Cartagena: Centro, San Diego, and Getsemani. Walk every street (and we mean EVERY street) by foot. Morning and evenings are the best time for exploring.
2) Get To Getsemani
Real people live in this old neighbourhood, which is what makes it more alive than Centro or San Diego. Street art = worth an afternoon. Go back to the Plaza de Trinidad at night.
3) Museums
We went to the (free) Museo de Oro and the Palacio de la Inqusicion.
4) Eat
Crazy fruits you should try: lulo, zapote, maracuya, granadilla, caimito, guanabana, and mamoncillo. Don’t want to buy from streetcarts? Try them as juices. Other meals: seafood is king in Cartagena and ceviche some of the best we’ve had. Green plantain chips or fried in a mash are a must try.
5) Beaches
Bocagrande is right in the heart of the city, but the water isn’t great. So we went to Isla del Encanto, which was very expensive, but private and guarded so you don’t have to worry about your belongings. Charter a private boat to the Islas de Rosario if you want a customized trip.
6) Sunset on the Wall
Iconic Cartagena experience? You got it. Cafe del Mar is a good place to sit, or just buy a couple beers from the wall vendors and claim your own piece of wall. Drinking in public is legal in Cartagena.
7) La Popa
There’s a convent on top. Because this is the highest part of the city, you get great views. Do not try to walk up the hill. Take a cab or a Chiva Bus.
8) Castillo de San Felipe
Yup. It’s a real castle and it’s f*cking hot in the day, so go right when it opens in the morning. There’s a giant flag at the very top.
9) Las Palenqueras
The fruit ladies are everywhere! Don’t be a dick: buy something or tip them for a photo.
10) Bocagrande
This was our last stop in the city - it’s like Miami Beach meets Puerto Vallarta.

Welcome to Colombia
In traveling Colombia, you cannot miss visiting Guatape, a town approximately two hours from Medellin that holds the title of being Colombia’s most colorful town. Located on the shores of a sprawling barrier lake. Guatape, Colombia is known for its traditional and vibrant illustrations that cover the buildings in unique images of animals, people, and shapes.

Colombie : le nouvel eldorado - Échappées belles
Longtemps exclue des destinations touristiques en raison de son contexte d'insécurité, la Colombie connaît depuis 2010 une augmentation régulière du nombre d'étrangers venus en touristes ou pour y faire des affaires. La paix retrouvée lui a permis de renouer avec la stabilité et de relever ses trésors parfois oubliés. Sophie Jovillard invite à le découvrir en sa compagnie. Elle débute son voyage par la fête des Fleurs de Medellin, avant de se rendre dans des petits villages typiques, aux marchés pittoresques et aux espaces naturels immenses.
Au sommaire :
- La Colombie, éternel eldorado
- Une nature luxuriante
- Des fleurs qui font vivre un pays
- Construire la paix
- L'autre pays de la beauté
- Le cyclisme, une passion colombienne
