Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

This captivating Street Food Private Tour commences at the center of Cartagena city or hotels. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle, embarking on a 30-minutes journey through the scenic beauty of Colombia.

2
Stop 2

Embark on a culinary adventure on Avenida Santander where you can tantalize your taste buds with mouthwatering Colombian ceviche and a myriad of delectable seafood combinations.

3

El Portal de los Dulces is a magical world, in a diverse, unequal city, with stories of emancipation, suffering and overcoming. It is a place that "enslaved" women conquered when they began to sell their sweets to people waiting for buses to get around.

4
Stop 4

San Diego is a quieter and more upscale neighborhood than Centro. The neighborhood features ancient city walls that offer views of the sea and sunset. The former 18th-century Las Bovedas prison houses a handicrafts market. San Diego's vibrant Plaza San Diego and other plazas are home to modest terrace bistros, lively pizzerias and trendy Japanese fusion restaurants. The neighborhood's streets are lined with cozy, simple cocktail bars.

7
Stop 7

The next stop will allow us to experience and sample the unique fruits of Colombia and the Caribbean region, which will be a pleasant surprise for you.

8

La Boquilla is one of the most artificial districts of Cartagena. Reimagined as a sort of luxury resort right in the middle of a deserted beach, this stretch of mediocre shoreline to the north of the Old City is home to rows upon rows of modern luxury condominiums. While there is no denying the beauty of Cartagena La Boquilla has a sort of carbon copy feel to it, as if you might find these whitewashed buildings with red roofs anywhere in the world.

9
Stop 9

The tour will conclude at Café Artesanal, where you can enjoy coffee while appreciating the handicrafts of the local indigenous people and sampling African sweets from the renowned Portal de Los Dulces.

10

Prepare your taste buds for a tantalizing journey through Colombia's rich culinary heritage, where the beloved arepa, made with corn and served alongside refreshing tropical fruit juice, embodies the essence of Colombian identity.

11
