Walking in Cartagena
Cartagena's colonial Walled City, with bougainvillea-covered balconies and colourful plazas, and the street art of neighbouring Getsemaní make it one of Latin America's most beautiful places to walk.
Heat. Hot and humid all year. Walk early or late, and carry water.
Terrain. Flat, with cobbled streets and narrow pavements.
