Bazurto Market Adventure Tour in Cartagena
The tour begins at Centenario Park just at the walled city, where you'll be driven to Cartagena's main market, Bazurto. This 40-year-old market is an exotic maze filled with different characters, colors, and flavors. We'll pass through the Barrio Chino, the neighborhood adjacent to the market, where you'll meet locals and neighbors. You'll venture further into the market where you'll visit musicians, artists, enjoy various fruits, and the diversity of gastronomy. You'll visit mechanics with generations of experience, learn about traditional herbs, and finally, end up at Cecilia's restaurant, globally recognized for its appearance on Anthony Bourdain's show. There, you'll have various options for local lunch.
