About Cartagena de Indias

Cartagena is characterized for being a beautiful city with a warm weather and rich in history. Known as “The Heroic”, it was founded in 1533 by the Spanish Pedro de Heredia. Centuries later, it suffered the siege of the British corsair Francis Drake, who blocked and subdued the city through hunger and thirst.

Its walls are the testimony of the need for defense and, at the same time, this explains why UNESCO declared Cartagena as Patrimony of the Humanity.
