Teave
Kiired faktid: Horse-drawn carriages once lined this plaza, giving it its name meaning "Square of the Carriages." At its center stands a statue of Pedro de Heredia, the Spanish conquistador who founded Cartagena in 1533.
Esiletõstmised: Look up at the buildings surrounding the plaza and you will spot wooden balconies painted in vibrant yellows and blues, each with a different carved design. Those balconies tell the story of Cartagena's colonial merchant class, who built their homes and shops here to be close to the port's trading action.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Arrive at sunrise to photograph the empty plaza when the cobblestones are still wet from the morning cleaning.
- Grab a table at Café San Pedro on the northwest corner for the best people-watching position under the arches.
- Skip midday visits between 11 AM and 2 PM when the tropical sun bakes the open square with no shade.
- Watch for the horse-drawn carriages that still circle the plaza and offer 30-minute tours of the old city walls.

Kas oled kuulnud tasuta jalutuskäikudest?
Pärast reisimist üle 30 riigi on üks asi, mida sooviksin, et keegi oleks mulle esimesest päevast peale öelnud, ja see muutis täielikult minu linnakogemust.
Tasuta jalutuskäigud. Jah, tõesti tasuta. Kaarti ei ole vaja. Püüniseid pole.
Kohalik giid, 2-3 tundi
Peamised vaatamisväärsused, peidetud pärlid, kohalikud lood
100% jootraha põhine
Giidid teenivad ainult jootraha, seega annavad nad parima
Sa annad jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks
Lõpus annad lihtsalt jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks
Olen neid teinud paljudes linnades ja need on olnud peaaegu iga reisi tipphetk. Kui külastad Cartagena, Colombia, tee seda esimesel päeval. Sa tänad mind hiljem.
