Meet your local guide at La Serrezuela Mall and get a brief introduction to the experience, the San Diego area, and street food culture in Cartagena. Walk through the lively, non-touristy streets of San Diego. Taste your first bites: the legendary arepa de huevo and the crunchy carimañola — learn how locals eat them (with sauce, of course!).
Visit a street corner known for the best homemade chorizo in town. Enjoy local drinks like Kola Román or Pony Malta while listening to music and street stories. Sample seasonal tropical fruits like guama, níspero, zapote, granadilla, and more. Your guide will explain their cultural relevance and fun ways to eat them.
Try an optional tasting of pork (ears, snout, or intestines) from María’s famous stall. Not for everyone — but fun to watch or try if you're curious. You can also try Marco's delicious cheese arepa if you prefer something more traditional.
Arrive at Cartagena’s iconic Clock Tower and stop at the legendary Palito e’ Caucho stall, with 35+ years of tradition. Taste patacón with cheese or quibbes costeños. End the tour at the famous Portal de los Dulces. Try alegría, a local dessert packed with history — and emotion. Take some farewell photos and hear some final stories.
The tour concludes with a wonderful boat trip around Cartagena bay, complete with an open bar.
