Cartagena de Indias

In Cartagena the bus station is on the outskirts, 1 hour away, and there are no branches in the historic center.

Cartagena offers thousands of alternatives to spend the day, from cultural visits to impressive beaches such as Playa Blanca or the Rosario Islands, to taking a mud bath in the Totumo. We decided on the latter option, a mud volcano with medicinal properties.

Today the breakfast on the rooftop plays with the sun. It's 7 o'clock and everything points to it being hot.

After breakfast on the hotel rooftop we begin our tour of colorful, colonial Cartagena.

We get up at six, we have a tough day ahead of us. We have to go back to Santa Marta to pick up our backpacks and take a bus to our next destination Cartagena.
