Gabriel García Márquez in Cartagena Tour


Beyond Colombia


Get to know the neighborhood of Cartagena that inspired Gabriel García Márquez: San Diego. Get to know the streets that recount the lives of the characters from "Love in the Time of Cholera".


Santo Domingo Square



Cartagena will never be the same after you take this Free Tour. Be part of an exceptional and magical experience thanks to the stories that give life to the colonial streets, follow the steps that our Nobel Prize for Literature "Gabo" took between squares and bastions, between houses and balconies. If you have not yet read any of Gabo's novels, or you are a regular reader of his literary works, this tour will awaken your senses and alter your reality.

From the Plaza de Santo Domingo to the house of Gabriel García Márquez in San Diego Cartagena, live the art, music and literature of the bohemian neighborhood in which our writer lived absurd, magical and imaginary realities that influenced his life and later the lives of his characters that give full meaning to the magical realism that enchants and we admire.

Learn more about the life of this great artist, explore a different area of the historic center of Cartagena and be inspired by the fantastic stories that only Gabo knew how to write as if it were a chronicle of a death foretold!
