Where I come from is an exceptional cultural exchange, in which you will experience and learn about Cartagena’s identities and pluriculturalism that resonate in the city’s neighbourhoods.
Where I come from provides a glimpse into the rich cultural life of Cartagena’s popular neighbourhoods, as well as into the different social factors that historically excluded them. The aim of this project is to show you from different parts of the city how life in Cartagena has been one of community spirit, struggle and a search for identity.
Our experience begins by meeting at the clock tower in the historic center, from there we will travel by public transportation bus to the authentic and popular neighborhood of El Pozón, where the main development of our cultural exchange will take place. During the ride, we will narrate and teach the most important events of the history, its development and the places that stand out along the way.

Our experience starts at the Parque de la Marina in the Historic Center. Afterwards, we will go to the Transcaribe public transportation bus station located in front of the Bodeguita pier. This trip takes approximately 45 minutes to the Pozón neighborhood. While you are on the bus, you can see the panoramic view of emblematic places of the city such as: the Chambacú neighborhood, the Fort of San Felipe, the Popa hill and the popular Bazurto market, epicenter of “champetera” culture and the gastronomy of Cartagena. Add to all this our story: we will show you the most important events in the history of the city and its development until you reach the authentic and popular neighborhood of El Pozón.
