The Perfect Weekend in Cartagena

I wasn’t expecting to be wowed by Cartagena. In fact I was sort of expecting it to be an over-touristed cruise stop that had been cleaned up and wrapped in a pretty bow — a place that really wasn’t representative of the rest of the city, country, or culture. But from the first night when I found myself having dinner with locals oozing hospitality and authenticity, I realized I had Cartagena all wrong.
