YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

What started as a regular cruise port day turned into one of the most unforgettable experiences We Were NOT Expecting in Cartagena, Columbia In this episode, we take you with us to Cartagena, Colombia โ€” where nothing went as planned (and weโ€™re so glad it didnโ€™t). From an eye-opening visit to San Basilio de Palenque, the first free African town in the Americas, to sipping world-class cocktails at Alquรญmico, and ending the night dancing on a rooftop with our cruise famโ€ฆ Cartagena really showed out. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ We had flavors weโ€™ll never forget. ๐ŸŽถ We joined in local dancing. ๐Ÿธ We hit one of the worldโ€™s top bars โ€” twice. ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ And we did it all with 20 amazing couples. If youโ€™re sailing with Virgin Voyages or thinking about stopping in Cartagena, this is the one to watch. โธป ๐ŸŽฅ Featured Stops in This Episode: โ€ข Freedom Tour of Palenque - https://www.viator.com/tours/Cartagena/Freedom-Tour-of-Palenque/d4498-136321P1?pid=P00002881&uid=U00600742&mcid=58086&currency=USD โ€ข Alquรญmico Cocktail Bar - https://alquimico.com โ€ข Manglar Cartagena - https://manglarctg.co โธป Subscribe for more grown-folks travel ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพ @AddyandTerry ๐Ÿ“บ New episodes every week ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Couples-only cruises, cocktails, culture & connection โธป #CartagenaColombia #VirginVoyages #CruiseVlog #CouplesTravel #BlackTravelVloggers #AddyAndTerry Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfwDXRmQv0_-omrz4EpoOA/join ๐Ÿ“ง Need help planning your next adventure?
