You have the flexibility to start the tour anytime between 09:00 AM and 02:00 PM, whichever suits you best.
Our adventure begins as we head to Getsemani, a lively and well-loved neighborhood in Cartagena. This area is renowned for its graffiti, artworks, and murals that showcase the creativity and cultural richness of the local community. We'll explore Calle del Arsenal, a prominent street that hosts the creations of the urban artist collective "Crew Peligrosos." A key highlight here is the "Peace Mural", which commemorates Colombia's peace process and underscores the significance of reconciliation and harmonious living.
Next, we'll proceed to Plaza de la Trinidad, an iconic square nestled in the heart of Getsemani. Here, we'll admire the "Red Shoes Mural," crafted by Spanish artist Mónica Martínez, which depicts the region's history of slavery.
On Media Luna street, another notable spot in Getsemani, you'll find the "Mural of Freedom," a creation by local artist David Chávez. This artwork portrays the quest for freedom and social justice, featuring images of both well-known and unsung revolutionary figures pivotal to Colombia's libertarian history.
Our tour continues into the walled city, where near the Puerta del Reloj, you'll discover the "Mural of Reconciliation," crafted by Cartagena artist Carlos Trilleras.
On Calle de la Sierpe, another famous street within the walled city, you'll encounter the "Mural of Memory," created by Cartagena's own Freddy Rodríguez. This mural honors the region's history and its struggle for freedom.
With scenes of palenqueras, local flora, and fauna, we will circle back to our starting point, passing through Parque de las Flores, where you can view more urban art and enjoy a stunning panorama of the city.
After a two-hour exploration, we conclude the tour at the Clock Tower or Parque de las Flores.
