This video was originally uploaded in May 2020.
This is the same video. We used the wrong form of Colombia, so we changed it.
We go on a Highlights of Cartagena, Fortress and Las Bovedas Tour in Columbia.
We were on a 29 day Transatlantic and Panama Canal Cruise on the Emerald Princess.
The tour was $70 US each. We purchased it onboard. It was a good tour, not great. We saw a lot of the old city.
This video was recorded in November 2019.

It is a mix of very old was very new. We didn’t realize it was such a big city. Thanks for watching.

That was a long tour!!! I can imagine that most of the old passengers ended exhausted after all that walking. Nice channel, cheers from Chile

Hey, Gareth and Janet, I'm enjoying your videos from your Panama Canal transit on the Emerald. I am heading to SF in December to pick up the Ruby for the reverse sailing, Thanks for letting me cheat off of your homework. Y'all are the best. Hope your trip on the Majestic was just peachy.

Thank you for the awesome video! I’ll be visiting Cartagena in January 2024 on a cruise so I look forward to Port Oasis very much. Would especially love to see sloths. How high up the tree was this sloth? Just wondering if I should bring a very long telephoto lens. Thank you so much once again.

@PortMonkeys 8 ай бұрын

The trees are 20-30 feet tall and the sloths are only about foot-long. You may need a telephoto lens for a close up picture. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to a channel.

Wow, so busy now. We went in 2006. When going threw old town streets, had a couple bike police that followed and watched our back. Not many street vendors, but lots of beggers ( some faking lose limbs).

Would you recommend changing money when I'm in Columbia?

@PortMonkeys Жыл бұрын

We do not recommend changing money, unless you’re staying there for more than a day. We think most places take US dollars we didn’t buy anything. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

Correction.. It's not Columbia. Colombia is the right name.

As I new subscriber I wanted to ask you which are the top 3 most beautiful countries you had been to??

@PortMonkeys 3 жыл бұрын

That is a tough question. It depends. if we're talking just scenery, we can honestly say, the United States is the most beautiful country we have visited. Remember, it includes Alaska and Hawaii (not to mention California). Venice, Rome and Varallo Sesia in Italy are beautiful, if you like history. Almost any island in the Caribbean is good if you want beaches. Especially Grand Cayman and Barbados. Bermuda is nice, but not in the Caribbean. For tropical island beauty, Tahiti and Moorea (we have not been to Bora Bora). If you like rolling fields of green, then you want Great Britain. This is such a good question that we are going to put it, and a lengthier answer, in our 'What's New' section of our website: portmonkeys.com. Thank you for your comments and we are glad you are a subscriber.

Wow that's a lot to se an do on that excursion what was name of it?

@PortMonkeys Жыл бұрын

When we went, it was called “Highlights of Cartagena: Fortress & La Bovedas” and it was $70 US onboard. Princess now offers a tour called “Best Of Cartagena: San Felipe Fortress & Las Bovedas” that is $70. The descriptions are almost identical.

What’s the name of this tour

@PortMonkeys Жыл бұрын

The name of this tour was "Highlights of Cartagena, Fortress and Las Bovedas". We noticed it's not on the Princess website any longer. They do offer a tour called "Best Of Cartagena: San Felipe Fortress & Las Bovedas" that seems to be the same tour for the same price, $70.
