We began our day with a visit to the San Felipe Castle. This was built by the Spanish in the 17th century to protect Cartegena from a land attack.
We took a walking tour around the walled, historic part of the city a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Palenquerias are natives of San Basilio de Palenque. It was the first city of free slaves in America. These ladies make a living posing with tourists.
We visited an emerald museum later in the morning. Colombia is one the top three exporters of emeralds in the world.
