Imagine a Spanish colonial city and the following scene will spring to mind: peach-coloured cathedrals surrounded by rustic terraces with wrought-iron balconies and, in the distance, a stone-wall fortress with sturdy canons facing out to sea. Welcome to Cartagena - one of the oldest colonial cities in the Americas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, given its location on the Caribbean Sea, a popular beach resort. Footprintfocus Cartegena and Caribbean Coast will guide you along the Caribbean coastline from elegant colonial cities to snowcapped mountains, pristine beaches and pure wilderness.
