I'm not going to lie. When I think of Cartagena Colombia my mind goes to "Narcos", i.e. drugs. cartel, murders etc. So I was skeptical and unsure when I knew we were going to port there. Having said that, this happened to be one of my favorite ports and can't wait to go back.
I didn't have any excursion plans and decided to hoof it on our own and grab a taxi to go to the "old town". To get to the taxis you have to walk through the "Oasis Eco Park" which is an atrium full of little monkeys, howlers, toucans, parrots, peacocks, flamingos, anteaters and other unique species to discover as you walk through this animal wonderland. Some people actually spent the day there, had drinks, and waited for the monkeys to hop on their shoulders. It's hard to walk quickly to the taxis when there is so much entertainment to watch.
Here's a few pics of tropical friends waiting to pose for you.
