We offer this private painting classes at an unique start time: 3:00 pm.
This private painting experience is perfect for couples, friends, families, or solo travelers looking for something meaningful and different. Cartagena is a city where art lives on every corner. From the colorful facades of Getsemaní to the colonial charm of the Walled City, the city has long inspired painters, musicians, and storytellers.
Its artistic identity is shaped by a rich blend of African, Indigenous, and Spanish influences. Murals, street performances, handcrafted pieces, and gallery exhibitions reflect the daily life, traditions, and energy of the Caribbean coast.
Instead of just taking photos, you’ll take home something far more personal—a piece of art created by you, inspired by the magic of Cartagena.

Fabio is very fond of gastronomy, he solved many doubts, we toured the Bazurto market, we drank natural juices and ate local food, then we toured the neighborhood of Getsemaní with several places to eat what he recommended us. I recommend the experience
Camille Finley
Fabio took us to places only a native would know about. He was informative, entertaining and knowledgeable. Showed concern for our wellbeing and safety. Trustworthy. Thoroughly enjoyed.

We met Fabio, very punctual. We took a bus ride to a kind of market, place I must admit that we did not imagine being in a normal situation hahaha, something different and exotic food for the brave, and I insist on the different because at least for me it is the first time. Tasty food, my family enjoyed it. On the way back to the most central part of the city, he showed us and explained every place we passed in terms of food and history and recommended several exquisite places.
