Q & A
What would you have changed?
I met barrio getsemaní on the last day in cartagena, if I had met the first few days I would have stayed in this neighborhood.
What tips would you give a friend?
The Getsemani neighborhood is a good place to stay, as it offers an authentic look at what life in the city is really like for the locals.
Any surprises?
My biggest surprise was swimming in the sea on the island of Barú at night as there was a large amount of fluorescent plankton, it was amazing to see the bright colors when we stirred the waters of the sea.
