Country Overview

 Cartagena is a coastal city and one of the major ports of Colombia situated in the Caribbean Sea. The city has been an important link on the historical and exploration route to the West Indies. The region has been inhabited since 4000 BC as per the ceramics and remains found by archaeologists. The city has a unique scenery to watch; contrary to many historic sites and cities around the world, the walled city of Cartagena is well preserved to its original state. Besides site-seeing, the dining experience and the city's nightlife are major attractions for new travelers. Barrio Getsemani, beaches of Islas del Rosario, Cartagena's Cathedral, Tunnels of Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, and free street performances are fun activities that you must not miss.  The downtown has a variety of architecture, mainly dominated by the colonial style of construction and the republican and Italian styles of architecture.

My experience with the Black Travelers International in South Africa was nothing short of extraordinary. From the vibrant streets of Cape Town to the dynamic energy of Johannesburg, every moment was filled with cultural immersion and genuine connections. The group's meticulous planning ensured a seamless trip, allowing us to explore iconic landmarks, savor local cuisine, and engage in meaningful conversations with fellow travelers. It was more than a vacation; it was a transformative journey celebrating unity and diversity. Highly recommend joining this empowering and enriching travel community.

This was my first time traveling solo in a group trip! I was so nervous about it but quickly went away once I met the host Tarsha and the group. I had a wonderful experience! The trip accommodations, food, and activities were absolutely fantastic. Will definitely travel with this travel company again and I highly recommend! Go solo, and trust, you will be in good company, meet new people, and have a great time!

This trip was an enriching experience. The tours were well-planned, offering insights into Ghana's rich history and culture. The educational aspect was impressive, providing us with a deep understanding of the local communities. The diverse and flavorful Ghanaian cuisine delighted our taste buds, making each meal a culinary adventure. The Afro Future music festival was a highlight, showcasing the vibrant rhythms and traditions of Afro beats. Overall, a memorable journey filled with cultural immersion and learning.

It was a small, intimate group. We bonded quickly and did just about everything together as we discovered what charms Greece had to offer. Great upscale accommodation choices and activities! I would travel with Tarsha again in a heartbeat.
