The Truth About Cartagena, Colombia 🇨🇴 

Gracias amo a Cartagena gracias por llevarme alli de nuevo

"The City of Eternal Scorching Heat" LOL

As a Cartagenero, born and raised, the heat is one of the many reasons I'm in Montreal (wishing summers here were cooler). Street vendors have always been a pain in the butt and are a consequence, among other things, from the over-touristication(?) that started WAAAY long ago. There's plenty of things worth checking outside the old walls in Cartagena, the neighborhood you pointed at (Manga) has some incredible constructions tho' has been modernizing at an absurd pace. I wish I could find a place here in MTL selling fritos that are actually good and not insanely overpriced... have been drooling for a carimañola or arepaehuevo for 3 years now.

Lots of Getsemaní..which was once an island!

I love the vlogs because you use the osmo pocket 3 🔥

Beautiful vid, and great food for thought

Dan The Philosopher ... I couldn't more agree with you, time always move in one direction

Hey Dan. I'm just a hop, skip and a jump over the border in Panama City, Panama at the start of a two-month trip that will then take me back to Colombia to Barranquilla and Pereira (both first time visits for me) and return trips to Cali and Bogota. Panama City's just as hot as Cartagena. Well, it's only my first day here. My take on Cartagena. It's become like Cuzco, Peru. Overtouristed and, as a result, overpriced and more difficult to enjoy. There are so many beautiful Colombian cities that DON'T contain the overly aggressive street hawkers. One visit to Cartagena was fine. Two would be overdoing it.

Cartagena is a wonderful place to visit once, but after that been there done that.

Where is more expensive Cartagena or Medellín??

"terraza municipal" can be translated as " city terrace " ( as you did during the video) or "municipal terrace". Very nice video, by the way.

Well Cartagena looks stunning! And u look super annoyed ahah, that is so sad. That happened to me in Paris, many sellers 😢

Foreigner who has money to travel gripes about locals trying to feed their families. 👎🏼

You should just say no thank you and keep walking

You sound soft complaining but shit like that.
