Where groups meet in Cartagena
Our workshops in Cartagena are typically hosted in areas that offer convenient access and a suitable environment for creative activity. We often work with venues in or around the historic districts, particularly Getsemaní, known for its lively squares, street art, and bohemian vibe. This area provides an inspiring backdrop and easy access for participants staying in central hotels.
For larger groups or those seeking more space, locations in Crespo or Bocagrande, while more modern, can also be suitable, depending on the specific venue's facilities. We focus on finding spaces that are accessible and provide a comfortable setting for your workshop. Our priority is to ensure the location enhances the creative experience without causing logistical challenges for your group.

Arriving for your Cartagena workshop
Cartagena is well-connected for visitors. The city does not have a main railway station; most long-distance travel within Colombia occurs by bus or air. For groups arriving by coach, designated drop-off points are available in central areas, though coaches are restricted from entering the Walled City. For car travel, the main routes into Cartagena include the Troncal del Caribe (Route 90) from Barranquilla and the Ruta 90A connecting from Turbaco and further inland. Parking can be challenging in the historic centre, so we often recommend using taxis or ride-sharing services.
The Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) is conveniently located just a few kilometres from the city centre, making air travel a popular option for national and international visitors. Public buses operate routes throughout the city, and taxis are readily available. For workshops, we confirm the exact location and provide specific transport advice to ensure a smooth arrival for all participants.
Culture locale
Cartagena's urban art scene
Cartagena's street art scene, while perhaps less globally renowned than other major cities, is vibrant and growing, particularly in the Getsemaní neighbourhood. Here, colourful murals adorn walls, telling stories of local culture, history, and social issues. Artists, both local and international, have contributed to this visual tapestry, transforming public spaces into outdoor galleries. These artworks often reflect the Afro-Caribbean heritage and the resilient spirit of the community.
Beyond Getsemaní, you might find sporadic pieces in other areas, but it is in the historic core's fringes where street art truly thrives. The city's authorities have increasingly recognised the value of these expressions, with some initiatives supporting artists. This environment provides an authentic context for our workshops, allowing participants to connect with the city's artistic narrative and create their own contribution to its visual dialogue.
