Cartagena, COLOMBIA

HOME to the only walled town in the Americas, Cartagena is Colombia’s second oldest city, brimming with ancient buildings along cobbled alleyways. Marella Cruises offers shore activities to appeal to all interests, from a traditional horse-and-carriage tour of the city to a colourful Chiva Party Bus Tour, pumping to Afro-Caribbean music. Head off on a mangrove and swamp eco tour in a traditional canoe, with a local fisherman to help you spot kingfishers, white herons and pelicans.
