V!VA User‘s Description

Foreboding fortresses, narrow streets, hidden patios and enchanting colonial houses characterize Cartagena, a vibrant city rich in history and Caribbean culture. The city sits on a stretch of coastline extending from the Darién Gap to Guajira, a route lined with banana and palm plantations and swamplands. Frequent trade winds temper the heat, bestowing Cartagena with pleasant weather and an abundance of tropical fruit all the year round.

By Brenda Yun

Also called Cartagena de Indias, this is Colombia's jewel of the Caribbean.
