What You’ll Experience

We believe that one of the best ways to gain insight into the daily life and culture of a people is through food. This 5-hour tour will take you up close to the real Cartagena, as Bazurto, our Popular Market, is the perfect place to know where we are and go beyond the standard view and immerse yourself in the daily life of Cartagena. The experience begins with a guided visit to Bazurto (open-air market) where a professional bilingual guide will explain about the traditional dishes and the ingredients that the locals use to prepare them.
