Very confusing Where to pick up the audio tour After purchasing a ticket to see to the fortress. Attempted to contract. Sound Walker at their given number but was cut off 10 times in a row. I walked the castle on my own without the benefit of the audio guide, and consequently my expense Viator tours was of no benefit. I’ve asked for a refund and they’ll think about it in seven days
The 4th largest city in Colombia. The Spanish fort, FORT of SAN FELIPE DE BARAJAS is very impressive, since it has been built, it was never conquered. It is a steep climb to the fort but well worth the trip. Some of the fort's tunnels are open to visitors. Once you are at the top you have a great view of the walled city of Cartagena. Also at the top is a small shop selling cold drinks and souvenirs.
