OVERVIEW

Discover a different side of Cartagena in an engaging experience that pairs the history and colorful character of the Old Town with Colombia’s evolving wellness traditions. Begin with a guided exploration around the iconic Clock Tower, colonial plazas, cathedrals, city walls, artisan stalls, and local vendors, with opportunities for photos and shopping along the way. Then transition from the energy of the city to a carefully selected wellness venue for four interactive experiences inspired by Colombian ingredients, cultural traditions, and Indigenous knowledge. Enjoy a kombucha-based welcome drink and calming sensory ritual, discover Colombian cacao and exotic tropical fruits through a mindful tasting, create your own botanical “Golden Mix” beverage, and explore the traditions surrounding sugarcane and panela before sampling a non-alcoholic panela-and-herb beverage. This thoughtfully paced experience offers a refreshing combination of Cartagena’s history, culture, flavors, and wellness traditions without requiring strenuous physical activity.
