Discovering Cartagena's Hidden Colonial Courtyards
A private guide to the walled city's most intimate spaces — sun-dappled patios, bougainvillea-draped balconies, and the quiet stories they hold.

Inside the Walls
Cartagena is best understood slowly. In the walled city, carved doors open onto shaded patios, balconies catch the Caribbean breeze, and the rhythm changes from one block to the next.
Build Around a Place to Stay
For a private journey, the first question is not simply where to go. It is where your group will feel at home. ALMAR begins with your dates, group size, and preferred pace, then proposes suitable private stays and a route shaped around the city’s historic centre, Getsemaní, dining, and time on the water.
Leave Room for the City
Cartagena rewards an unhurried itinerary. Start early for quieter streets, reserve late afternoons for the heat to soften, and keep one evening open for a recommendation that fits your group. Availability, access, and final arrangements are always confirmed before booking.
