Workation in Cartagena: the essentials
Spanish ships loaded Bolivian silver here and landed enslaved Africans, and the massive walls built against pirates still enclose Cartagena's old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Caribbean. Beyond the balconies and plazas of the centre, Getsemaní is the livelier quarter, Bocagrande is a strip of high-rises by the beach, and boats leave for the Rosario Islands. The city has around 880,000 people and several coworking spaces. Rafael Núñez airport is only about 5 km from the old town. The heat rarely lets up, and cruise passengers and street vendors crowd the walled city for much of the day.
