About this trip

Street Food Tour:

Bring your appetites and an adventurous attitude. We hit the streets to experience food the way Cartageneros do. Whether you are searching a stopover snack or something more substantial, a healthy start or a sweet dessert, Cartagena’s streets provide everything! One of the very best ways to gain an insight into the daily lifes and culture of the locals is to experience their culinary culture. The 2 hour tour will get you up close and personal with the real Cartagena as the street sellers fill our bellies with their delicacies and warm our hearts with their hospitality.


Bazurto Market:

The Bazurto market is a traditional market offering fish, meat, fruit, clothing and is

as important in Cartagena as the La Popa Convent or the Castle of San Felipe. It is a very

traditional market, barely visited by tourists. We can buy food or traditionally prepared Colombian dishes or just enjoy the local market of Cartagena in the early hours. Let this “underground” part of Cartagena enchant you; it is ideal for an adventure. We will walk through a maze of alleys, where the tour guide will introduce you to all kind of fruit, herbs, vegetables, fish, seafood and meat. There are also a spice market and natural healing pharmacies. At the end of the tour, we will arrive at the comedor (the Market cafeteria) where you can have breakfast (not included).

Trips are about unique experiences, and my most recent trip to Cartagena with Alternative Travel was not only that but also unforgettable. The intrepid Josmary Palacio, our Asesora de Ventas, made much of my dreams come true as I was not only my group’s trip planner but, undesirably, also the birthday planner. For this role, Josmary was extremely accommodating to my questions and had a keen eye for planning out whatever I needed on our stay in Cartagena. One memorable experience was Alternative Travel’s Mangroves Tour experience, which is genuinely immersing and peaceful. Juan Lombana, our tour guide, is a bright young man who enjoys putting a smile on his groups’ faces. He was informative and charismatic, which helps to fully appreciate the mangroves, the people, and wildlife that play a vital role in this Caribbean ecosystem. My overall experience with Alternative Travel is an absolute 10, but I imagine that anyone that chooses to go with Alternative Travel will also feel the same way afterward. Enjoy!

It was very nice, the lunch was great, the personnel very kind and the place beautiful we left our personal things there safe... The only thing to improve is the departure time, it could be 8am instead of 9am, this way the tourist can enjoy more time and not having a tight itinerary in case there is another extra activity scheduled... Also the return time, but this is more dependant on the ocean waves and wind...

Eine tolle Stadtführung, in der in der Kürze der Zeit die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten ausführlich vorgestellt wurden. Das ganze in einer überschaubaren Gruppengröße und mit deutscher Begleitung. Genau das hatten wir gesucht und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Dazu noch der nahrhafteste Ausflug, den ich je gemacht habe (Dank "Streetfood"). Unbedingt empfehlenswert!!!

Wir waren mit dem Ausflug sehr zufrieden. Es war eine überschaubare Gruppe von ca. 18 Personen in einem klimatisierten Minibus. Es begann mit der Besichtigung der Festungsanlage, dann folgte die Fahrt zum Kloster La Popa mit einer tollen Aussicht auf die Stadt. Der Höhepunkt war dann die Besichtigung der Altstadt zu Fuß mit Streetfood- und Eisverköstigung. Johana hat uns in ihrem perfekten Deutsch alles anschaulich und lebendig erklärt, durch ihre fröhliche und ungezwungene Art hat dieser Ausflug unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht. Die Abholung und natürlich auch die Rückkehr zum Schiff verliefen problemlos und vor allem pünktlich. Ich kann diese Tour ohne Einschränkung weiterempfehlen.
