I was very happy when we got to Cartagena – it was warm, colourful, walkable and super sunny! We hopped on a flight in Medellín as domestic flights to the coast were far cheaper than the buses. It was comfortable getting there so fast, and we found a great place to stay in the middle of the old city – so we could just walk around, eat well, and explore.

Speaking of food, Camilo’s friends introduced us to a Peruvian starter called ‘causa‘, which along with various kinds of ceviche became somewhat of a craving and standard choice of ours during the entire trip. It. was. so. good.
