Gabriel Garcia Marquez Free Tour in Cartagena

Before the sun beats down and the heat becomes stifling, immerse yourself in Gabo's rich history in Cartagena and his novels (Of Love and Other Demons; Love in the Time of Cholera).

Here, reality and imagination blur, and every plaza, street, and fortress becomes a page from García Márquez's timeless works. This is not just a walk; it's a journey into the magical realism that immortalized Cartagena.

Starting in Plaza San Diego, directly across from the Monastery of Santa Clara (Hotel Santa Clara), you'll explore the history, culture, and places that captivated Gabriel García Márquez's literary imagination. Designed for curious travelers and lovers of literature and history, this experience brings the past to life in the very places where it unfolded. Guided by locals deeply connected to Cartagena's heritage, you'll uncover secrets, admire colonial architecture, and hear the stories that inspired Gabo's timeless works. From the echoes of youthful love to the mysteries of Santa Clara, every corner reveals a fragment of magical realism.
