Something different for the rest of your life in Cartagena de Indias, land of salsa and champeta, is learning how to dance to it.
Starting from the dock, we will address the old city towards the special place where expert instructors will teach us “caribbean expression” salsa and champeta.
By the end of our lesson we will choose the student who got the “most advantage” of the lesson and will be awarded in our shopping spot with a silver emerald pendant “Emerald coffee bean pendant”.
We will then walk through the old city. By the end of this walk contemplating the beautiful city and listening to our guide tell us its story, we will arrive to the Dungeons or Troops Quarters where 23 different stores exhibit all kinds of hanicrafts from Colombia and a splendid exhibition of the finest emeralds in the world.
