My Colombian adventure is really takign flight. Avianca's next stop, Cartagena. Come along
with me, Let's Roam Colombia. In a word, the walled city of Cartagena, Colombia is enchanting.
The wall --- created in the 16th century and fortified many times throughout the Colonial
era, did a fine job of keep intruders out and allowing the city within to grow rich
with palaces, convents and monasteries. And now the very same wall is now what lures romantics
from all corners of the world in.
Inside the wall, you can't help but fall in love. But why? Is it the colorful and cultural
mix of people who live and work together? Is it the perfect balance of old and new,
where convents are restored to modern boutique hotels, and fine dining mixes with age-old
recipes? Is it the relaxed way of life, where the click clack of the carriage rides keep
the day ticking on. Where a bike can get you everywhere you want to go. Local Cartageneros
no a thing or two about the romance here in Cartagena, so Gerardo, what do you think the
secret is?
The wall, of Cartagena, well, nothing can be more romantic than that! Since I was kid
I always went there to make out with my girlfriend, and people still do it. It's been a tradition.
That wall, where people flock just as the sun sets, for that magic hour, those views,
that ocean breeze. So whatever brings you here, I dare you to visit and not fall in
love!
