Rhythms & Flavors: A Cultural Fiesta in Cartagena with Chanelle

-Welcome to Cartagena, Colombia's jewel on the Caribbean coast. With a mix of historic architecture, modern urbanity, and Caribbean island life, Cartagena is sure to be enthralling.

-On arrival, a swift group transfer will take us to our accommodation for check-in. Settle down and take some time to freshen up.

-We'll kick off our Colombian getaway with a welcome dinner at Alyzia, a tranquil restaurant serving a unique fusion of Mediterranean and Caribbean flavors and fantastic views. Enjoy the food, sip on drinks, and break the ice!

-We'll dive into Cartagena's cultural heritage on a walking tour.

-Visit La Popa Convent, a religious icon perched on a mountain top.

-Then, see San Felipe de Barajas Fortress, the largest fortress ever built by the Spaniards and a complex instrumental in the defence of Cartagena during the colonial era.

-At the historic center, we'll continue exploring Cartagena's colonial past while diving into the local street food fare.

-After the sun sets, bring out your wild side and experience a night out celebrating Champeta — a vibrant musical and dance genre originating from Cartagena's Afro-Colombian communities. Dance to energetic beats, feel the lively atmosphere, and connect with the locals!

-After the night out, we'll take it slow today by jetting across the Caribbean on an island hopping adventure across the Rosario Islands.

-Enjoy the sea breeze, crystal-clear waters, and pristine beaches. Continue grooving to music while sipping on beers, or relax and bask under the sun.

-We'll further indulge in relaxation during a visit to the Totumo Mud Volcano. Located on the shore of a freshwater lagoon, Totumo is a 20-meter-high natural wonder flowing with warm and dense mud.

-Climb to the top and immerse yourself in the mud, which is believed to have therapeutic properties.

-After the rejuvenating excursion, participate in a hands-on cooking class, taking home with you recipes to remind you of the good times in Cartagena.

-Head out for one final dinner together at Casa Cruxada, a vibrant location dishing out great music and flavors. Let your hair down, and have fun!

-Savor one final breakfast together before catching our group transfer to the airport.

-Thank you for joining me on this electric adventure in Cartagena. I'll be buzzing from this trip for a while. Take care, and have a safe journey home!
