Step into Cartagena’s most vibrant and authentic neighborhood, where urban art, music and history merge into one rhythm. Formerly home to dock workers, liberated communities of African descent and revolutionaries, Gethsemane was the cradle of the spirit of freedom that still thrives on its streets.
Walk alongside our guide Beyond through Trinity Square, Calle de la Sierpe and the colorful alleys full of murals, drums and local life. Each wall tells a story of resilience, identity and pride.
With our professional wireless audio system, you’ll enjoy clear, immersive storytelling even among the bustle of the neighborhood. This detail makes a difference, allowing you to listen to each story in comfort and freedom to take photos or enjoy the surroundings.
More than a walk, it is an experience that reveals the living essence of Cartagena: its rebellious past, its art and the energy of its people celebrating freedom every day.
