Рет қаралды 7,425
We decided last minute to hop a plane to Cartagena! We love a good Sofitel and the Santa Clara did not disappoint! We tried to choose the best restaurants for the few nights we were there and had so much fun exploring the richness of Old Town.

The hotel you stayed at looked really beautiful! It's great that they have kept the feeling of the original building. All of the food looked really delicious but waaay with our budget haha! Looks like you guys had a great time! Thanks for sharing!

1621!?! Wow that is so neat and I love that the Sofitel has left the some of the original relics. I love the look of old town. That's incredible that a real treasure was found in a sunken ship! I love the winery guide you were given, so sweet. Your meals looked amazing as usual.

Hell yeah! Cartagena was one of our favorite town in South America. Have you tried the street food of Cartagenia? Is you are still around, find the "Cocadas"... It's sweet and AMAZING!!

I hear Cartagena is like the Miami of Colombia.. The foodie scene looks amazing.. Just curious to how much the tasting menu at 1621 restaurant costs? Your hotel looked very luxe and how cool to have a butler pick you up at the airport! You guys really travel in style! Haha! Looks like a long list of South American wineries for you to visit! Will look out for that in future videos! Great share!

It is a lot like Miami...and it was a bit of a splurge for us. We do have status at the Sofitel Hotels, which is why we got upgraded to the suite, and it was really nice! Dinner was definitely on the expensive side for South America...I think it was around $150/person without wine 😳(but we'd do it again!). Thanks for watching!

I love Colombia. I’ve been a few times but I have unfortunately never made it to Cartagena. But all of the cuisine looks so exquisite. And that was so cute the restaurant gave you plantains! Nice video!

Oh my goodness! The amazingly beautiful food and sights! I am so jealous of your luxurious travels. So glad I discovered your channel! Everything looks absolutely stunning. I love historic buildings, I never realized that Columbia had so much fascinating history. I know, I'm a dumb European! Thank you for educating me :)

Congratulations for the details on this video. You were very pampered in the Santa Clara Hotel. Keep an eye next time you come to visit the paradisiac islands of Rosario, they are located 20 minutes away from Cartagena by yacht. I highly recommend to try the bar author cocktails which are spreed all around the historical center! Restaurants like Celele and Carmen with a Michelin star are a must.

We heard about the islands, but ran out of time before we could get to them...next time though! They’re supposed to be awesome!
