The ideal 3-day itinerary in Cartagena
A walled city, white-sand beaches, Caribbean food and nights of live music: how to make the most of three days in the jewel of the Colombian Caribbean.
Cocktails
Alquímico
Signature cocktails in a colonial house, with a terrace to watch night fall.
Why we recommend it
Alquímico is one of the most acclaimed bars in the world, featured on The World’s 50 Best Bars list. It fills a colonial mansion in Cartagena’s historic center, with three floors and a different concept on each.
On the ground floor, cocktails with ingredients from partner farming communities; upstairs, classics with a Colombian twist; and on the rooftop, drinks made with what grows on the owner’s farm.
