Overview

Where I come from is an exceptional cultural exchange, in which you will experience and learn about Cartagena’s identities and pluriculturalism that resonate in the city’s neighbourhoods. Where I come from provides a glimpse into the rich cultural life of Cartagena’s popular neighbourhoods, as well as into the different social factors that historically excluded them. The aim of this project is to show you from different parts of the city how life in Cartagena has been one of community spirit, struggle and a search for identity. Our experience begins by meeting at the clock tower in the historic center, from there we will travel by public transportation bus to the authentic and popular neighborhood of El Pozón, where the main development of our cultural exchange will take place. During the ride, we will narrate and teach the most important events of the history, its development and the places that stand out along the way. Join us on this adventure!

    Our experience starts at the Parque de la Marina in the Historic Center. Afterwards, we will go to the Transcaribe public transportation bus station located in front of the Bodeguita pier. This trip takes approximately 45 minutes to the Pozón neighborhood. While you are on the bus, you can see the panoramic view of emblematic places of the city such as: the Chambacú neighborhood, the Fort of San Felipe, the Popa hill and the popular Bazurto market, epicenter of “champetera” culture and the gastronomy of Cartagena. Add to all this our story: we will show you the most important events in the history of the city and its development until you reach the authentic and popular neighborhood of El Pozón. When we get there, we will develop the core of our cultural route, which we will do on foot. We will meet friends from the community who will guide us through the whole experience and at different points will tell us about the trades, history, development, leaders and cultural practices.

Great educational experience

Published on Nov, 2022

All of the guides were extremely friendly and informative. I felt welcomed in their community and the whole experience was very educational. I would recommend this tour to help support their message and to also learn about their culture and hardships in their community.

Get in touch with Cartagena!

Published on Oct, 2022

This experience was amazing! The price was cost effective to get around to see parts of the city we wouldn’t have access to alone. We traveled with the transcaribe and were received at a host home in the community to meet the people and the true essence of Cartagena! I felt a genuine connection with the tour guides who love to celebrate their town and it’s people! If you are looking to get to know the culture of Cartagena, you must book with these hosts.

Amazing!!!

Published on Oct, 2022

An amazing experience! The story of the development of the city, its history and the social processes that it has lived and that you live in this experience is incredible! Thank you guys for giving me this great cultural exchange and allowing me to be part of the change you are generating in the city.

An experience that...

Published on Oct, 2022

An experience that everyone should do, undoubtedly a unique and innovative experience where you not only know a part of the city that has never been exposed to tourism, but also these guys make you part of the process of social transformation of the city and the community of El Pozon. Thank you very much for allowing us to live this great experience!

What a great experience!

Published on Sep, 2022
