A typical day in Cartagena is full of hot weather, flavourful foods, and the sounds of local music. Tiled roofs and flower-filled courtyards create a colonial charm, and the market off Avenida Venezuela adds spice to the large city seaport. Street-sellers offer a wide variety of tasty snacks. You can try mango seasoned with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, or you can opt for a chunk of tropical fruit from a high stack of fruit balanced on top of the seller’s wooden cart. Peto, a sweet milky corn drink, is another exotic palate pleaser you can find, often served in an empty half of a coconut. The bright coloured houses and vibrant culture create a unique vacation experience.
