With its stunning beaches, thriving arts, and culture scene, and picturesque waterways, Fort Lauderdale offers a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. Visitors can soak up the sun on the pristine white sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach, explore the arty, independent boutiques and restaurants along Las Olas Boulevard, or take a scenic boat tour through the city`s intricate network of canals. The city also boasts a diverse range of attractions, including world-class museums, lush parks, and bustling nightlife.

Cartagena
A kaleidoscope of color, rich in cultural heritage and old-world charm. Find Spanish colonial architecture, lively music, and mouth-watering cuisine. She is celebrated as the queen of the Caribbean coast, and given the shimmering lagoons, bays and stunning sea that surround her, it’s easy to see why. Cartagena’s beautifully preserved Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with winding alleys, vibrant displays of architecture and iconic churches. Explore islands offshore, swim in the crystalline waters, and be sure to sample the ceviche!
