What a great way to see and learn more about Cartagena! Nico was such a knowledgeable, thoughtful guide. I particularly enjoyed his tour around the San Filipe Fortress, and his tips on where to get the best photos. He even sent us home with a little something-something from Cartagena! You'd be a fool not to call him up for a tour. We got the tip from Sofitel Legend Santa Clara, a great hotel as well!

Its mud contains medicinal properties reducing stress, normalizing blood circulation, discharging negative energy and recharging with positive solar magnetic energy. leaves the skin soft and smooth, due to the refreshing, anti-inflammatory, decongestant power that the earth possesses.
