Port description
In the days when pirates and adventurers like Sir Francis Drake sailed the seas in search of the gold of El Dorado, the Spanish colonial port city of Cartagena was a favored destination. Today, it is a modern and bustling seaport and commercial center, rich in history, culture, and magnificent Spanish architecture. Ascend the city's tallest hill to the magnificent La Popa Monastery, where you'll enjoy a spectacular view of the harbor with its unique mix of ancient forts and modern hotels and high-rises.
