Explore these three awesome forts build by the spaniards to protect the entrance of the bay of Cartagena de Indias. Coveted by Spain, Pirates, Buccaneers and Corsairs, this long forgotten lost city in the Caribbean has a lot of histories to tell. This unusual and out of the tourist path tour will take you to Bocachica with a boat and from there to the Bateria del Angel and San Fernando, and, across the entrance of the bay, to the fort of San Jose.
Our local guide will take you were nobody else does and tell you all the secrets kept by these walls. At the end of the tour you’ll have a typical lunch on the local beach.
In our effort to provide a sustainable tourism, involve local communities and slow down gentrification, our staff is composed by active members of the neighborhood association.
