Itinerary

The Puerta del Reloj

Torre del Reloj or Boca del Puente or Plaza Internacional Carlos Campillo is the main gateway to the historic center of Cartagena de Indias in Colombia and the original entrance to the fortified city.

Step 2

We will race with our skateboards over the imposing walls of the Historic City, making photo stops at the most attractive points of interest to take photographs. The old city of Cartagena, its historic center, is surrounded by 11 km of wall (8 km left) in order to protect the city from constant attacks by the enemies of the crown and pirates.

Step 3

La Serrezuela was originally built in 1893 and used to be the central theater and bullfighting arena. They would host bullfights, horse shows, plays and concerts, and boxing tournaments until the 1970s.

Step 4

The Vaults are a structure in the Old City of Cartagena in Colombia, attached to the walls. The Caribbean Sea is visible from the top of the structure. They were built as dungeons.

Catalina de Alejandría

is a Colombian cathedral church of Catholic worship under the patronage of Santa Catalina de Alejandría. The cathedral is in the Herrerian style, characteristic of the reign of Felipe II, which corresponds to the third and last stage of Spanish Renaissance architecture.

The Church

of San Pedro Claver is a Colombian temple of Catholic worship dedicated to San Pedro Claver, whose remains are found on its main altar.

Step 7

Old Customs House. Located in the Plaza de la Aduana in the historic center of the city of Cartagena, Colombia. The founder of Cartagena, Don Pedro de Heredia, lived in the building.

The Plaza de la Aduana

the largest in Cartagena, Colombia, was originally intended to serve as the main square, so the administrative offices were built around it during the colonial era. There is the mansion where the founder of Cartagena, Pedro de Heredia, lived, and a statue in homage to Christopher Columbus.

Step 9

It is the most central square in the city and the first to receive visitors to the historic center, as it is located after crossing the Puerta del Reloj.

Step 10

The Camellón de los Mártires connects the center of Cartagena with the traditional neighborhood of Getsemaní and is adjacent to the Muelle de los Pegasos, the Clock Tower and the city's Convention Center.

Step 11

The Plaza de la Trinidad in Cartagena de Indias or Plaza de la Santisima Trinidad is located in the legendary and popular neighborhood of Getsemani and takes its name from the church with which it shares the stage “Iglesia de la Santisima Trinidad”. It is the meeting place for artists, artisans, tourists, locals and residents, perhaps the most vibrant place in Cartagena at night.
