Discover a new side of Cartagena de Indias on this Gabriel García Márquez Tour and explore the places that inspired the winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Gabriel García Márquez Tour

At your chosen time, we'll meet at the Camellón de los Mártires to start our route through Gabriel García Márquez's Cartagena de Indias.

We'll walk through the streets and corners of the city that inspired the novelist to write some of his most famous works, like Love in the Time of Cholera, in which he eccentrically portrays the Colombian way of life through magical realism. 

We'll discover some of the key places in Gabo's, as he was known by some, Cartagena, starting with the Serrezuela, a former bullring that has been converted into a shopping centre.

The next stop will be the Bóvedas, the part of the Old City of Cartagena where the dungeons were located. During the tour, we'll unveil the moments that marked the life of the Nobel Prize winner for Literature.

We'll continue the tour visiting the Monastery of La Merced, where we'll find a monument dedicated to the writer in the cloister; the Heredia Theatre and the Bolivar Park, where a famous bench dedicated to Gabriel García Márquez is located. 

The tour will end back at the starting point after 3 hours.
