COLOMBIA TOURS: CARTAGENA TREASURES 4 Days / 3 Nights A fairy-tale city of romance, legends and sheer beauty, Cartagena de Indias is an addictive place that can be hard to escape. This is the place to drop all sightseeing routines. Instead, just stroll through Cartagena's maze of cobbled alleys, where enormous balconies are shrouded in bougainvillea and massive churches cast their shadows across leafy plazas. Take time out to relax at one of Cartagena's many open-air cafés, prime viewing spots to watch the parade of horse-drawn carriages, fashionable locals and mystified tourists. When the bustling city gets too much, you can always escape to the nearby Islas de Rosario. Lonely Planet "For clients seeking luxury, the obvious choice is the five-star Sofitel Santa Clara. Located in the heart of the historic downtown district, this 17th century convent turned resort has 119 rooms, including 17 suites..." Agent At Home Magazine
