About this experience
IMPORTANT- There is a dress code for this tour!
Guys must wear pants and closed toed shoes on this tour. Swimwear, sandals, shorts, hats, sportswear, sunglasses, and sleeveless shirts are NOT allowed! Furthermore, we do not allow any aspects of sex tourism either.
We are a group of local friends that host bar crawls in Colombia. We wanted to give foreigners and tourists a unique "locals' experience", so we started these bar crawls.
This bar crawl consists of 3 local bars and 1 club, all located in the center of Cartagena. Centro Historico is one of the most popular nightlife areas, especially among university students and tourists, in Cartagena. We will meet for 1 hour at the first bar at 8:30 pm to congregate and converse. We will then proceed to the next bars every hour, finally finishing off at the club by 12:15 am.
Sometimes locals also come on our crawls, so you may have the opportunity to connect with some Colombians and practice your Spanish!
