YouTube Video Description↓

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 β€” where nothing went as planned (and we’re so glad it didn’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 AlquΓ­mico, and ending the night dancing on a rooftop with our cruise fam… Cartagena really showed out. 🍽️ We had flavors we’ll never forget. 🎢 We joined in local dancing. 🍸 We hit one of the world’s top bars β€” twice. πŸ’ƒπŸ½ And we did it all with 20 amazing couples. If you’re sailing with Virgin Voyages or thinking about stopping in Cartagena, this is the one to watch. βΈ» πŸŽ₯ Featured Stops in This Episode: β€’ Freedom Tour of Palenque - https://www.viator.com/tours/Cartagena/Freedom-Tour-of-Palenque/d4498-136321P1?pid=P00002881&uid=U00600742&mcid=58086&currency=USD β€’ AlquΓ­mico Cocktail Bar - https://alquimico.com β€’ Manglar Cartagena - https://manglarctg.co βΈ» Subscribe for more grown-folks travel πŸ‘‰πŸΎ @AddyandTerry πŸ“Ί New episodes every week πŸ›³οΈ Couples-only cruises, cocktails, culture & connection βΈ» #CartagenaColombia #VirginVoyages #CruiseVlog #CouplesTravel #BlackTravelVloggers #AddyAndTerry Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfwDXRmQv0_-omrz4EpoOA/join πŸ“§ Need help planning your next adventure?
