Cartagena can be summed up with one word. History and the many spectacular 16th century buildings and fortifications found throughout the city.

The Fort of San Felipe de Barajas is another amazing tour stop. The n see the ancient city walls of the old city. Another must see are Las Bovedas, and The Dungeons, which have been converted into an artisan’s center. In old Cartagena you can visit the Plaza Bolivar, surrounded by the Cathedral and Palace of Inquisition and the church of San Pedro Claver, which still contains the remains of the Patron Saint of Slaves, who devoted himself to improving life for the poor and tortured captives of the city. And when you have finished touring, you will have plenty of time to visit the shopping mall, Pierino Gallo, famous for great bargains in jewelry, especially emeralds and other precious and semi-precious stones.
Colón Panama lies at the very heart of the country's rich history and innovation. This important port town is less than an hour's drive from Panama's most historical attractions, so it's easy to fit in visits to sites like the Panama Railroad, Gatun Locks, and old Spanish fortress Fort San Lorenzo. And of course, crystal blue waters and pure white sand make for a photo perfect setting. While in Panama, be sure to pay a visit to the impressive Gatun Locks, where you can watch ships and tankers being lifted up 85 feet to the level of Lake Gatun. And bring your camera - you'll want to capture the amazing views that surround this engineering marvel. Also, if you love a good fortress, check out Portobelo National Park. This charming bayside village is home to 16th- and 17th-century Spanish forts, ruins and treasure houses. And then there is SHOPPING! Duty Free. Colón is actually the largest duty-free zone in the Americas, so whatever's on your shopping list - you're bound to find it here! Be sure to check out The Colón Free Zone. It consists of 1,600 showrooms for wholesalers and retailers who travel here to purchase consumer goods at cost, but you may find some showrooms that welcome tourists as well. It's worth the trip just to take in the scene. Puerto Limón Costa Rica is overflowing with natural wonders - towering mountains once thought to house gold and silver, magnificent rain forests containing more than 2,000 varieties of orchids, and beautiful sun-drenched beaches. Head to the mountains and enjoy the beautiful of the tropical rain forests.Your adventure includes a visit to the small village of Bananito, an amazing drive through the forest, past cattle ranches and banana plantations and incredible ocean views. Absorb the tranquility of the Tortuguero canals as you float dreamily up to the north of Limón. Take in the fragrance of white ginger blossoms, lavender water hyacinths and the ilan ilan flower.
Grand Cayman has many options to explore. Take a tour through the charming city of George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands. Stop at the Conch Shell House, constructed entirely of the trumpet shells of the mollusk, and the town of Hell, whose name was inspired by its unusual rock formations. Visit the Turtle Farm, an interactive sea-turtle nursery where green and hawksbill turtles are bred and raised. Explore a seemingly endless stretch of magnificent coastline at Grand Cayman's world-famous Seven-Mile Beach. Surround yourself with exotic marine life and huge coral formations as you explore the underwater world in a submarine. Grand Cayman is humorously referred to as "Brand Cayman" by those savvy shoppers who know the island's reputation for fabulous duty-free prices on designer merchandise. There are great bargains abound on jewelry and watches.
As you can see this is a vacation packed with much to see and do, and the price for this 10 day vacation is less than many of the 7 day cruises. It's a lot of cruise for the money. We hope that you can join us! | ||||
