From this old convent renovated in 1961 ( I can't believed they had it in ruins before that) you have the best view of Cartagena. it is not very far from the city and in two hours you can be back on town

The convent itself is not that amazing. The views of the city from here are though and it is definitely worth coming for the views alone. You can see the city in all directions- including the old city, shipping port and airport. Take a taxi to the top because it can be unsafe to walk there.

From here you can see almost all of Cartagena. The old church has a beautiful hand-carved altar covered in pure gold. Be prepared to be surrounded by street vendors. If not interested, simply be polite and say no.

We were part of a tour. Our guide was very good, he had several stories about not only the content but the whole area. The chapel was wonderful. Old world in style, ornate to a degree and a place of importance historically. A sure place to visit.

Cartagena is a gorgeous, beautiful city. Don't use Contactos as your guide. They will not show up and they will steal your money if you book them in advance. Really bad.

This is the highest point in Cartagena and gives and amazing view of the city and the bay. In 1821 there was a law that mandated that all convents with less than 8 religious people needed to be closed. Only in 1960 the capuchins were allowed to return. Reconstruction and restauration took almost 5 years. Currently it still needs a lot of repair, but it is a very peaceful place, with music playing. If you cannot read Spanish go with a guide that can translate all the photo legends with the history of the reconstruction for you (really great). Convent is simple but I felt such a good energy there that I really loved the visit.

Worth the trip up for the view alone. Important historical significance too. It's a good place to spend a half and hour--good place to get oriented to the old/new city.

The Popa is a beautiful old monastery and worthwhile visiting. The greatest thing about this place is the incredible view, however. One can see a 270 degree view of Cartagena, from the noisy cheaper neighborhoods to the left to the upscale ones on the right and the historical center straight ahead.

Visited on a hot midday with a cruise ship in town but still was very enjoyable. Spectacular views of the city. Be sure to arrange for a cab to wait for you. Not sure if any cabs make the trip up the hill on speculation of finding a fare. 50 or 60 thousand pesos seems to be the going rate from the old city. One hour at the site was sufficient for us.

We had a great tour guide we hired on the site: Julio. he was very knowledgeable. The place has a wonderful 360 degrees view of the whole city. The big red/gold altar, the paintings, the colonial architecture, the history... we believed it was much worth that the fortress we also visited.
