One of the most pleasant things you can do when visiting Cartagena, is visiting the Portal de los Dulces.  It is a journey through the history and geography of the city.

When you arrive at Cartagena de Indias whether by land, sea or air, you will see how the Cerro de la Popa de La Galera stands out with its majestic height, a mountain 486 feet above the Colombian Caribbean, boat-shaped, and on the hill, this convent  seems to guard anything happening within the Corralito de piedra (stoned fenced),as the locals know it.

The many places tourist come to visit in Cartagena, forced the travelers to have a very tight schedule to do everything they want to do, but this does not keep them from making a visit to the vaults.
