Getsemaní Neighbourhood Tour in Cartagena

Summary

Make your own way to Getsemaní to meet your guide and begin your ‘like a local’ walking tour. Uncover the secrets of the vibrant neighborhood as your guide explains its colorful history, from a seedy red light district to a merchant center, and most recently, reinventing itself as one of Cartagena’s coolest and most creative neighborhoods. Discover Getsemaní’s diverse residents for yourself as you stroll down Calle del Pozo, join a game of dominoes or ludo with the locals, admire the bold graffiti street art, and mingle with enigmatic street vendors, musicians and bohemian artists in the lively Plaza de la Trinidad. This tour is designed to offer an authentic glimpse into everyday life, as well as preserving the barrio’s traditional charms, so it’s only right that participants have the chance to get involved. The final stop of the day is to a multi-purpose public space, where you’ll have chance to lend a hand to a creative art project, set up to nurture local talent, create employment and help artists sell their wares.
