Description

Explore the murals of Getsemaní with a local muralist as your private guide. Small group of up to 5 people, flexible schedules from sunrise to night, in Spanish or English.
Your guide is a local muralist from Getsemaní: not a generalist tour guide who recites facts, but an artist who knows the walls because he and his colleagues painted them. That one detail transforms the entire sightseeing tour: you'll hear who painted each piece, why they painted it, what it means, and which crews are making their mark on the neighborhood right now. For one focused hour, you'll walk the streets that turned Getsemaní into Cartagena's open-air gallery. We start near the iconic Clock Tower and head into Calle de la Sierpe and Calle San Juan, whose walls are the main canvas of the city's most active urban artists. We'll continue along the photogenic Calle del Pozo, lined with hanging umbrellas, and finish at Plaza de la Trinidad, the social heart of the neighborhood. As this is a completely private tour limited to 5 people, you set the pace: stop to take photos, ask about styles and techniques, or delve into the political and cultural stories behind each mural. Available in Spanish and English, with departures from early morning to evening, it's perfect for seeing the murals in the soft light of dawn, at sunset, or illuminated at night when Getsemaní is at its most vibrant.
