Cartagena

Colour, Heat & the Caribbean Coast

Cartagena, Colombia glows with colour and heat. Women sell fruit beneath crumbling walls. Sunlight spills across worn tiles and faded paint. The city feels layered, colonial facades and Caribbean rhythm, stillness and song. Behind heavy wooden doors, courtyards hum with fans and radio static, while the streets pulse with warmth and movement.
