My suggestion
Plan to spend four to five days exploring Cartagena and its surrounding area if you want to get the most out of the city. To enjoy your stay to the maximum, walk around in the morning and evening, which are the coolest and freshest times of day.
Cartagena de Indias is a colonial city in Colombia originally founded in the 16th century and containing a walled city and fortress inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage.
My suggestion
