Cartagena Colombia en algunas palabras

Esta ciudad portuaria en la costa caribeña colombiana atrae cada año a miles de turistas curiosos por descubrir su ciudad vieja fortificada fundada en el siglo XVI.
 
Edificios de estilo colonial, plazas animadas y calles empedradas reciben a los visitantes en un clima cálido y húmedo, que recuerda que la playa nunca está lejos.
 
Establecida sobre el pueblo amerindio de Calamari, se le añade “de Indias” para distinguirla de Cartagena en España. Rápidamente, se convierte en el principal puerto español en la costa del Caribe.
 
Gracias a su posición estratégica, se convierte en un lugar ideal para el almacenamiento de riquezas, lo que también la convierte en un objetivo perfecto para los piratas. A pesar de una historia tumultuosa, la ciudad continúa desarrollándose, ofreciendo un patrimonio y una belleza únicos.

¿Qué ver en Cartagena? 10 lugares que no te puedes perder

Descubrir Cartagena es dejarse llevar por su ritmo de vida más relajado y tranquilo, mientras se aprecia su impresionante belleza colonial. Aquí una lista que contesta a la pregunta ¿qué hacer en Cartagena?

1. Perderse en la ciudad amurallada

La ciudad vieja de Cartagena es sublime. Rosa, amarillo, azul… Las fachadas compiten en colores para seducir a los turistas que desean tomar fotos.
 
La arquitectura colonial es magnífica e invita a tomarse su tiempo para pasear mirando hacia arriba y admirar la belleza del lugar, declarado Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO.

2. Descubrir las plazas de la ciudad

Cartagena de Indias tiene varias encantadoras plazas de donde puedes admirar la arquitectura local o disfrutar de una copa en una terraza. Te presento algunas a continuación.

La plaza Santo Domingo

Aquí es donde se encuentra la iglesia del mismo nombre. Desafortunadamente, está cerrada con frecuencia. Por lo tanto, no pude entrar a admirarla. Esta plaza también es conocida por exhibir una estatua del famoso artista colombiano Botero: la Gorda Gertrudis.
 
El ballet de turistas que quiere tomarse fotos con la obra es incesante, pero no es imposible tomar una foto sin nadie con un poco de paciencia y rapidez.

La plaza Bolivar

La antigua Plaza de la Constitución tiene una historia muy triste. Aquí es donde se llevaban a cabo las ejecuciones durante la Inquisición. A finales del siglo XIX, fue renombrada como Plaza Simón Bolívar. En su centro, de hecho, se erige una estatua ecuestre del antiguo presidente.
 
La plaza es un lugar agradable para sentarse un rato y también para admirar a los bailarines de Mapalé, una danza tradicional de las poblaciones afrodescendientes, que actúan aquí de vez en cuando.

La plaza San Pedro Claver

San Pedro Claver, quien da nombre a la plaza, fue el sacerdote que desempeñó un papel importante en la liberación de los esclavos africanos de la región.
 
En la plaza, hay una estatua que lo representa hablando con un esclavo. Su cuerpo descansa en esta iglesia construida por los jesuitas.

La Plaza de los Coches

Se trata de otra plaza rebautizada, ya que en ella se desarrollaron unos momentos oscuros de la historia del país. La antigua Plaza de los Esclavos servía como escenario para el mercado de esclavos. Hay que tener en cuenta que Cartagena era considerado el puerto de esclavos más importante del continente sudamericano.
 
Hoy en día, es un lugar animado ideal para comprar dulces a alguno de los vendedores que se encuentran bajo los arcos.

3. Pasearse por las murallas

Estoy segura de que en tu lista ¿Qué ver en Cartagena? están las murallas. Es uno de los atractivos de Cartagena más importantes. Fueron construidas para proteger la ciudad de los ataques de piratas.
 
Puedes recorrer una gran parte de ellas y disfrutar de la vista. También es el lugar ideal para disfrutar del atardecer.

4. Vagar por Getsemani

Los edificios coloniales y el arte callejero hacen que el barrio de Getsemaní sea muy agradable. Definitivamente, es otro lugar perfecto para tomar fotos para tu cuenta de Instagram.
 
Por cierto, si te interesa el arte urbano como a mí, no dudes en hacer un recorrido guiado para aprender más sobre los grafitis locales.
 
La plaza de la Santísima Trinidad es el corazón del barrio. Anteriormente llamada Plaza de la Libertad en honor a los habitantes del barrio que iniciaron el «grito de independencia en 1811«.
 
Es decir, desde aquí comenzaron los movimientos que llevaron a la independencia de lo que entonces era la Nueva Granada.
¡Descubre el barrio con este recorrido guiado de arte callejero!

5. Visitar el Fuerte San Felipe de Barajas

Ubicado en la colina de San Lázaro, es un lugar fantástico para admirar la vista de toda la ciudad. ¡Pero no solo eso! El símbolo de la ciudad es la construcción más grande jamás realizada por los colonizadores españoles.
 
Pasillos, pasarelas, galerías subterráneas, puentes levadizos, este monumento imprescindible es un verdadero laberinto donde aprenderás más sobre la historia de la ciudad. Es imprescindible incluir a este fuerte en tu lista de sitios qué ver en Cartagena.

6. Conocer la catedral Santa Catalina

La catedral de Santa Catalina es uno de los monumentos más emblemáticos de la ciudad. Desafortunadamente, no siempre está abierta. Construida en 1577, es una de las catedrales más antiguas del continente.
 
Sus colores vivos llamarán tu atención desde las calles circundantes. En su interior, descubrirás tres naves decoradas de forma sobria, así como un retablo principal cubierto de hojas de oro.

7. Admirar la Torre del Reloj

La Torre del Reloj es otro de los lugares emblemáticos del casco antiguo. También es la puerta de entrada principal a la ciudad amurallada.
 
Su arquitectura de estilo postclásico está realzada por columnas toscanas y arcos semicirculares romanos. Para la historia, el reloj fue importado directamente de Suiza.

8. Comprar artesanías en Las Bóvedas

Las Bóvedas comprenden 47 arcos y 24 bóvedas, que dan un encanto único a este edificio colonial, que anteriormente era una antigua prisión. Hoy en día, son los comerciantes locales quienes ocupan las celdas, especialmente para vender artesanías y recuerdos.

9. Observar animales en el Parque del Centenario

Justo cerca de la Torre del Reloj, se encuentra un pequeño parque que puede pasar desapercibido: el Parque del Centenario. Aquí, podrás admirar animales en libertad, como perezosos, iguanas o incluso monos. Un sitio perfecto para completar tu lista ¿Qué ver en Cartagena?
 
Los vendedores ambulantes te indicarán dónde están estos animales. Ten en cuenta que te pedirán una pequeña contribución a cambio. Sin embargo, puedes observar perfectamente a los animales buscándolos por tu cuenta.

10. Relajarse en la playa

Cartagena Colombia tiene muchas playas. Sin embargo, algunas no son necesariamente recomendadas para descansar y nadar debido al viento bastante fuerte que puede soplar y a las corrientes intensas y peligrosas.
 
Aquí tienes 2 playas interesantes, pero que pueden estar lejos de la imagen idílica que podrías tener:

La playa de Bocagrande

Con su parecido a Miami, es un buen lugar para disfrutar de la atmósfera colombiana mientras te bronceas. También podrás bañarte sin problemas.

La playa La Boquilla

La arena oscura da la bienvenida a los visitantes en un ambiente tranquilo, aunque no sea una playa excepcionalmente hermosa.
 
Para disfrutar de aguas turquesas, se recomienda encarecidamente hacer una excursión en alta mar desde Cartagena Colombia.

¿Cuántos días en Cartagena?

Es perfectamente posible visitar Cartagena en un día. Sin embargo, sería una lástima no quedarse un poco más, ya que la ciudad es muy agradable. Te recomiendo encarecidamente dedicar al menos 2 días.
 
Si deseas descansar y tener unas verdaderas vacaciones que combinen excursiones, playas, vida nocturna y cultura, una semana será perfecta.
 
Finalmente, si te enamoras de la ciudad como yo y tienes tiempo para quedarte y establecer una rutina, ¿por qué no pasar varios meses allí?

Visitar Cartagena de Indias: itinerario de 2 dias

Si tienes poco tiempo, aquí tienes un itinerario de 2 días que te permitirá ver lo esencial de Cartagena sin tener que correr de un lado a otro.

Día 1:
 
Perderse en el centro de la ciudad: 2-3 horas
Visitar la catedral: 30 minutos
Hora del almuerzo: elige uno de los restaurantes locales para probar las especialidades. Buscando bien, encontrarás lugares con precios normales.
Disfrutar del Parque del Centenario: 1 hora
Pasear por las murallas: 2 horas
Admirar la puesta de sol mientras tomas una copa: 1 hora
Hora de la cena: quédate en la ciudad amurallada para cenar en un restaurante de moda
 
Día 2:
 
Visitar el Fuerte San Felipe de Barajas: 3 horas
Pasear por Getsemaní: 2 horas
Hora del almuerzo: el barrio de Getsemaní es perfecto para encontrar pequeños restaurantes escondidos con precios locales.
Relajarse en la playa: elige una de las muchas playas de la ciudad para disfrutar del sol.
Comprar recuerdos en Las Bóvedas: 1 hora
Hora de la cena: regresa al centro histórico para cenar y tomar algo.

Visitar Cartagena de Indias: itinerario de 3 dias

Si te quedas un día más, puedes aprovechar para explorar la zona con una excursión. Aunque la ciudad es sublime, no es el único lugar que merece una visita en esta región con una importancia histórica y paisajes de ensueño.

Aquí tienes algunas ideas de excursiones de un día:
  1. Visitar la ciudad de Palenque, la primera ciudad libre de esclavos en América
  2. Tomar un baño de barro en el volcán El Totumo
  3. Explorar Barú, Cholón y Playa Blanca
  4. Maravillarse ante las 5 islas del Rosario

¿Es peligroso visitar Cartagena?

El tema de la seguridad siempre es delicado y un poco subjetivo. Me quedé en un barrio bastante alejado del centro y no particularmente rico, pero nunca me sentí insegura, incluso caminando allí al anochecer. El resto del tiempo, estaba en la zona turística y tampoco tuve problemas.
 
Sin embargo, al hacer tus investigaciones en Internet, verás que se pueden producir robos en el centro y que algunas zonas deben evitarse por la noche debido a la venta de drogas y la prostitución.
 
Como en el resto de América Latina, aquí tienes algunos consejos que te ayudarán a mantener tu seguridad:
 
1. Evita llevar demasiado dinero encima.
2. No camines con tu móvil en la mano.
3. No uses joyas valiosas.
4. Evita salir por la noche, especialmente solo/a.
5. Prefiere usar Uber para moverte.
6. Bebe con moderación para evitar estar ebrio/a en una ciudad que apenas conoces.
 
Estos son consejos básicos de sentido común, aunque no existe un riesgo cero.

¿Cuándo ir a Cartagena?

Hace calor todo el año en Cartagena, lo cual es perfecto si te gustan las escapadas al sol, y como el agua del mar también está caliente, no tendrás ningún problema para disfrutar de tu estancia. Sin embargo, algunos meses son más lluviosos que otros.
 
Por lo tanto, se recomienda visitar Cartagena de diciembre a abril. Ten en cuenta que los meses de enero y febrero suelen ser bastante ventosos, por lo que no son ideales si esperas pasar tiempo en la playa.
cartagena Colombie

¿Cómo llegar a Cartagena?

Para llegar a Cartagena desde el extranjero o desde otras ciudades de Colombia, puedes tomar un avión que te dejará en el aeropuerto internacional de la ciudad.
 
Si ya estás en Colombia, ya sea cerca o lejos de la ciudad, y prefieres tomar el autobús, hay muchas compañías que te llevarán a Cartagena Colombia.

¿Cómo moverse en Cartagena?

Si te encuentras en el centro turístico, podrás hacer todo a pie. Si estás fuera del centro, puedes tomar un taxi (asegúrate de preguntar el precio antes de subir) o usar Uber, que ofrece coches o motocicletas para tus viajes.
 
El tráfico en Cartagena a menudo está saturado, por lo que te recomiendo que te desplaces en moto. Es muy fácil, hay mototaxis por todas partes en la ciudad (excepto en el centro turístico), solo tienes que hacerles señas para que se detengan.
 
También hay varias líneas de autobús. Consulta este enlace para obtener más información.

¿Dónde alojarse en Cartagena?

Si te quedas solo unos días en Cartagena, lo mejor es alojarte en el centro histórico o en Getsemaní. Si, como yo, te gusta estar rodeado de lugareños, hay muchos barrios donde alojarte que son muy agradables. Yo me alojé en Crespo, ¡estaba perfectamente inmerso en el ambiente local!

Ser nómada digital en Cartagena?

La ciudad de Cartagena es más una destino para turistas que para nómadas digitales. Por lo tanto, puede ser bastante difícil encontrar una comunidad de nómadas digitales. Sin embargo, si te gusta pasar tiempo con los lugareños, ¡nada más fácil!
 
La conexión a internet es bastante buena en Cartagena. También hay varios espacios de coworking y algunos colivings, lo que puede ser interesante para conocer gente nueva.

  • 👩🏾‍💻ARE YOU THINKING OF BECOMING A DIGITAL NOMAD? Working and traveling at the same time is a dream for many of us, and I can assure you that it is an amazing lifestyle✨️ However, it is not for everyone. Check if you have these 4 essential qualities to embark on the digital nomad journey 🌐 ✅️Discipline. This one is a huge one. When you travel, you want to know everything about the destination where you are. You want to visit sites and spend time with the people you meet on the way. But, if you need to work 30 – 40 hours a week, you won’t be able to do it. So, you will need to be disciplined enough to avoid distraction and put yourself at work. ✅️Flexibility. Bad things happen when you travel. Your bus can be canceled, or your Wi-Fi can be down. It means you will need to change your plans, and it can affect your work. So, you need to be flexible and find a way to make things work. ✅️Quick-learning. While traveling, you need to learn many things: languages, how to get the bus, where to buy a sim card… Everything is new to you, but at the same time, you don’t have many months to learn how your new place works.  ✅️Ability to market yourself. It is true for digital nomads but also for any freelancer. You need to know how to sell your services and how to build a good online presence to get regular clients.

It will help potential employers or clients find you. ⭐️Explore Remote Job Platforms: Leverage remote job platforms tailored to your skills and interests, like FlexJobs, and Upwork, that offer a plethora of remote opportunities. ⭐️Financial Planning: Plan your finances strategically. Consider creating an emergency fund, as irregular income can be a part of the digital nomad lifestyle. Research cost-effective destinations for your travels, and be mindful of local currencies and living expenses. ⭐️Network and Join Communities: Connect with fellow digital nomads and remote professionals through online communities, and social media groups. Platforms like Nomad List, or Instagram can help you find like-minded individuals. Networking can also lead to job opportunities and collaborations.

  • ✨️NOVEMBER RECAP✨️ It has been a tough month. Many health issues prevented me from enjoying my time and focusing on my work. But I had no other choice than to deal with it. From a thwarted holiday plan in Huatulco to navigating medical challenges in Oaxaca, it was a journey of resilience and self-care. But today, it is December, and I am perfectly fine, and ready to enjoy Oaxaca and make the most of my last month here. Here are some highlights of this month: As a digital nomad: 👩🏾‍💻I started to diversify my income. Let’s see if I actually see results in 6 months. 👩🏾‍💻I changed my routine again to adapt it better to my life in Oaxaca. Adapting your routine when necessary is key if you are a remote worker. On a personnel level: 👩🏾 As much as I adore the digital nomad lifestyle, the adventurer in me is itching for more! So I plan to travel differently in 2024, a blend of routine to get my work done and not lose my sanity, and adventure to let space to the crazy Audrey. 👩🏾I am having the best time enjoying the Oaxacan cuisine. 👩🏾I am really enjoying having friends in Oaxaca and sharing great moments. How did November treat you? #solofemaletraveler #girlswhotravelsolo #womenwhowander #womentravelsolo #solofemaletravelers #solotravelgirl #travelgirl #girlsaroundtheworld #digitalnomadism #digitalnomad #digitalnomads #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadtips #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadwomen #slowlife #slowtravelling #slowtravel

  • HONESTLY… I wanted to be a war reporter📹 when I grew up. Is it going to be my main regret in life? For sure. But, I had to learn at a young age that life does not always give you the right cards to become what you want to be. The other thing I wanted to be when I grew up was a traveler, and I think we can say I made it!🥳 What did you want to be? #digitalnomadspirit #digitalnomadinsider #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadtips #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadwomen #digitalnomads #digitalnomad

  • ⭐️THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I LEARNED AS A DIGITAL NOMAD IS BALANCING EXPLORATION WITH WORK, CONCENTRATION AND MOTIVATION IS ESSENTIAL. I guess it is something that you learn quite quickly when you are a digital nomad👩🏾‍💻 Exploring your new destination would pull you away from working. For sure, it is exciting to discover a new place, and you could feel you are losing your time at home working. However, it is essential to work, focus, and keep the motivation if you want to maintain this lifestyle. So here are some of my tips to find the right balance focusing on the exploration part: 〽️Make a short list of things you want to see or do in the destination before arrival. 〽️Plan to make 2 of them each week. 〽️Every day, plan 2 or 3 hours of free time that you can use to stroll around your neighborhood, meet people, or engage in one of the activities from your list. 〽️Make the most of your weekends. It is the best moment for you to be a tourist. 〽️Take a few days of holidays if needed at each destination. So, you have more free time to visit and engage in some activities. 〽️Stay longer in the same place, so you will have enough time to truly explore it. What do you think of those tips? #digitalnomadspirit #digitalnomadinsider #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadtips #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadwomen #digitalnomads #digitalnomad

Viajar de manera responsable en Cartagena

Cartagena es una ciudad hermosa. Desafortunadamente, está lejos de ser limpia. Todavía se usa demasiado plástico, los desechos se acumulan a lo largo de las carreteras y el turismo hace que los precios suban a expensas de los lugareños. Si deseas mejorar la situación de la ciudad, aquí hay algunos gestos responsables que puedes tener durante tus visitas:
 
1. Lleva tu bolsa de tela para hacer tus compras.
2. No uses las bolsas de plástico proporcionadas para comprar frutas.
3. Lleva un vaso reutilizable para comprar tus cafés en la calle.
4. No arrojes basura en la calle.
5. Lleva una pajita reutilizable para disfrutar de los jugos de frutas.
6. Usa protector solar ecológico si vas a la playa.
7. No alimentes a los animales en los parques.
8. Evita los comercios que ofrecen precios exorbitantes.
 
Esta lista no es exhaustiva, por supuesto. Todavía hay muchas más acciones que puedes realizar para proteger el planeta y apoyar a las poblaciones locales.

Viajar como persona racializada a Cartagena

Todas las experiencias de personas racializadas son diferentes y mi experiencia no es universal. De todos modos, me sentí bien en Cartagena.
 
Sin embargo, en el centro turístico, el 30 % de los vendedores me gritaban “India” al verme, ya que soy de origen sud asiático. No es nada grave, pero resulta molesto a la larga.
 
En Cartagena, hay un gran número de habitantes de ascendencia africana, dada la historia de la ciudad, lamentablemente estrechamente relacionada con la esclavitud. Me alojé en un barrio lejos del centro, donde el 90 % de la población era negra. No vi ningún turista allí.
 
Recibí muchas miradas, lo cual entiendo, porque está claro que no soy negra, pero tampoco me identifican como turista, así que comprendo la curiosidad.
 
Espero que este artículo haya contestado a la pregunta ¿Qué ver en Cartagena? y te haya ayudado en su preparación para viajar. Solo puedo recomendarte que visites Cartagena. Realmente me enamoré de su belleza y su ambiente. Estoy segura de que volveré y pasaré mucho más tiempo allí.
