What You’ll Experience

We will go the the biggest and most famous market of Cartagena, the Bazurto Market. The market is untidy, and has strong odors, but it’s also unique, colourful, vibrant, and generally very interesting. After about 40 minutes exploring the market we head to Cartagena Cooking School, where a fruit tasting of around a dozen exotic fruits from the market has been set up for you. You will get in-depth explanations to each of the fruits and their usages.
