Creator's Key Takeaways

the traffic in Cartagena is insane there's not enough public transportation for the people and the two for the locals and the tourists here

the food in Colombia never never disappoints it's so good

we've been to Columbia before so this wasn't our first time experiencing this beautiful beautiful culture

do not forget to eat the food because it is so good

Join us on this Cartagena cruise port review. We bring you along as we do "do it yourself" tour of the city. We'll share what you need to know and how much it costs to do your own short tour at the Cartagena cruise port. Our ship stopped at the cruise port and we spent the entire day exploring the port. Instead of doing a ship shore excursion, we found the Cartagena port easy to navigate yourself.
