Cartagena Video, Part 1: The City Tour

WRITTEN BY Mark Chesnut

You may have already seen the “official” tourism video [http://www.latinflyer.com/index.php/articles/read/tourism-board-view-cartagena-colombia/] produced by the tourism office in Cartagena, which is posted here on LatinFlyer.com and also on LatinFlyerBlog.com. Now it’s my turn.
This video is my own personal version of a city tour of Cartagena de Indias, based on my recent visit. During Part 1 of the video, I’ll tell you a bit about the history of this landmark port city on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, then highlight some of the main attractions and even show a bit of the live dance and music performances you can enjoy while there.
In upcoming videos, I’ll include dining, shopping, hotels, dramatic torture devices (at the Inquisition Museum) and even some bizarre shark feeding at the nearby Rosarios Islands.
If you have any special memories or recommendations, or questions for your upcoming visit, please feel free to post a comment here or on the discussion forum.
