I loved Cartagena. Unfortunately the corona virus broke out just after we got there and all the beaches, etc were shut down. But the city itself is wonderful and I hope to go back some day when things are normal again.

The old city is fun with lots of dining options. Getsamani is also a wonderful area, full of life and a offering lots of dining choices. The old city and Getsamani would be more enjoyable if they could limit car traffic there, turn down the volume.

Overall very nice city but you have to be good at saying no gracias. There are hundreds of locals trying to sell you something. It is constant, even when you are having dinner. Very busy lively city.
