Founded in 1533 by Spanish explorers, Cartagena is a stunning example of Spanish colonial architecture, African culture, and Native American heritage.
The picturesque - historic center is surrounded by impressive fortifications that protected the city from pirates. Today they offer an incomparable view of the sea. Cartagena's cobblestone streets are lined with colorful colonial mansions that preserve the massive wooden entrances with brass knockers and stars that symbolized the status of each family.
Today these colonial mansions are home to some of the finest restaurants, hotels and boutiques in South America, offering world-class interior design, service and cuisine.
Dear Julia,
here is my almost traditional feedback mail. Long and detailed, but hopefully valuable for you.
As always, it was a great holiday and in these special times, appreciated even more by all of us than the other great trips. For me it was one of our best family vacations ever, because we had such a harmonious time as a family. Here in Hamburg we hang out together 24/7, but Lapland was different. Great conversations, many shared experiences during activities and above all a lot of childlike joy in nature and the simple things like sliding down the hill from the Safari Camp with plastic sheeting.
