What to do and see in Cartagena, Bolivar Department: The Best Hop-On Hop-Off Tours

November 14, 2021 Moriah Teneyck

Cartagena, a gorgeous fishing village on Colombia's Caribbean coast, has excellent beaches, a historic old town (that's entirely walkable) and beautiful colonial architecture. It's also one of the safest places in the country, so it's no wonder it's a popular port of call for cruise ships. Need a break from exploring the cobblestone streets? Stop at an outdoor cafe for excellent pastries and people-watching.

Salinas de Galerazamba is a beautiful and colorful pink sea, located between Cartagena and Barranquilla; It is a destination worth knowing. Where is Salinas de Galerazamba? Specifically it is located in the Galerazamba district, Santa Catalina Bolívar; It is only 15 minutes from El Volcán del Totumo, so you can visit it. The pink sea is given by a natural phenomenon derived from the great concentration of saline in the waters. When the rain falls, the drops of water break the salt granules and create this phenomenon. The sea also has halophilic microalgae that produce beta carotene, creating environments of high salinity and luminosity. IT INCLUDES: * Transportation round trip by air-conditioned bus * Tour of Galera Zamba * Visit to the Pink Sea (Salina) * Entrance to the Totumo Volcano * Visit to the Cartagena sign * Lunch with 3 options * Swimming in the pool or on the beach *Bilingual guide

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Lunch

Exclusions: Alcoholic Beverages

Overall was a great trip....beautiful islands...Pedro"the solution" was great. He speaks English and Spanish, and was helpful. This is a must do,while in cartegena. Be sure to bring plenty of water,sunscreen,and your choice of alcohol. Lunch was included. Bring cash along with you,to buy additional items on the trip. Give exact change,for what ever you purchase...vendors tend to not give back change. The only complaint I had,was pick up was @730,they did not arrive until 0830
