Cartagena
The Caribbean's most romantic walled city.
A walled colonial old town of plazas, balconies, and ramparts that catch fire at sunset.
Cartagena de Indias is South America's Caribbean jewel and the most romantic city on the sea. The Ciudad Amurallada is a complete walled colonial core of churches, plazas, and bougainvillea-draped balconies, ringed by golden-stone ramparts that glow at sunset as the rooftop bars fill. The Rosario Islands sit an hour offshore for a beach afternoon.
