Description

The tour begins at Centenario Park, right next to the Clock Tower, where you'll board a local bus to Cartagena's main market, Bazurto. This 40-year-old market is an exotic maze brimming with unique characters, vibrant colors, and diverse flavors. We'll pass through Barrio Chino, the neighborhood adjacent to the market, where you'll meet locals and neighbors. You'll venture deeper into the market to visit musicians, artists, and enjoy various fruits and the rich diversity of gastronomy. You'll also meet experienced mechanics, learn about traditional herbs, and finally, end up at Cecilia's restaurant, globally recognized for its appearance on Anthony Bourdain's show. There, you'll have several options for a delicious local lunch.
