AHOY THAR ME HEARTIES!!
Cartagena de Indias, Spanish colonial jewel and pirate-coveted treasure, affords a rare opportunity to step back in time and walk about in a world where the historical past seems incredibly tangible. This is a town surrounded by fortresses, bulwarks, cannons and walls, filled with historic mansions and tales of greed and glory.
To experience this voyage into the past, jump aboard our Pirate Tour of Cartagena.
We will snake our way though the historic Centre, Getsemani and finally finish on top of the must-see Fortress of San Felipe de Barajas, all the while your English-speaking guide (Kristy or Juan Sebastian) will share the very best, most scandalous Pirate stories from Cartagena's sordid beginnings.
The tour runs for about 3 hours and covers a distance of 3 kilometers in pretty hot conditions. Bring bottled water and be sun-smart.
If you feel this might be beyond what you are capable of during a relaxing vacation.. perhaps consider another option (such perhaps as a private tour where you hire transport).
Price $50 USD per person. This price includes the entrance price to the Fortress of San Felipe (plus pirate swords for any kids that book in).
Tours usually depart at 10.30am from the Baluarte Santo Domingo (this is up the ramp on top of the wall where the famous Cafe del Mar is located)
For reservations, please send us an email with your ideal dates, numbers and where you are staying.
