Description

Embark on an immersive journey through Cartagena, experiencing the vibrant fusion of history and culture in two iconic districts: the Walled City and Getsemaní. Our adventure begins at the majestic Clock Tower, guiding us through the enchanting Plaza del Ecuador, a poignant reminder of the city's pre-colonial past before the shadows of slavery descended upon its streets. Here, we are greeted by the figure of the city's founder, Pedro de Heredia, and the poignant symbol of feminine resilience embodied by the 'Portal de Los Dulces.' As we trace the path of slavery, we delve into the somber history of conquest and commerce, confronting the stark reality of human trafficking amidst the bustling trade of goods. Yet, amidst the darkness, glimmers of faith and artistic expression endure. Our journey takes us to the solemn sanctity of San Pedro Claver Square, where the echoes of devotion resonate within the walls of churches and cathedrals. Along the way, we encounter the imposing 'Palace of the Inquisition,' a haunting relic of religious authority and persecution, bearing witness to the trials of the Holy Office.'
