Waves & Wheels: Classic Car Ride, Old Town Walk & Bay Cruise

OVERVIEW

See Cartagena from every perspective imaginable – while walking through Old Town, riding in a convertible car and cruising around Cartagena Bay. The walled city was founded in 1533 and exudes history, especially at landmarks such as the 17th-century San Pedro Cathedral. While strolling through the plaza named for Simon Bolívar – who liberated Latin America from Spanish rule – you will likely see vendors preparing street foods and selling fresh fruits, which you may sample. More architectural treasures will be seen on the car ride as you will enjoy uninterrupted views of this UNESCO World Heritage site. If there are places you still want to see within Old Town, time has been allotted for a bit of independent exploration. You will view the historical downtown from yet another perspective while skirting along the coast in the boat. The bar will be open, music will be playing, and the mood will be wonderfully festive.
