Cartagena and related destinations

Wander through a walled colonial city where Caribbean breezes carry salsa music across plazas filled with fruit vendors in impossibly bright dresses. The Clock Tower marks your entrance to the old city, where balconies drip with bougainvillea above streets that seem designed for getting pleasantly lost. Palace of the Inquisition offers history with a macabre twist – torture devices displayed in a building beautiful enough to make you forget their purpose. Escape the afternoon heat at Teatro Heredia, a jewel box of a theater where performances feel intimate despite the grandeur. When the cobblestones get too hot, retreat to Bocagrande Beach or visit the National Aviary to witness Colombia's extraordinary bird diversity up close.
