May 4-7, 2023
Cartagena de Indias is the undisputed tourism jewel of the Caribbean Coast, with a historic city that lays over 13 km of century-old colonial stone walls. Cartagena’s Old Town is a Unesco World Heritage Site filled with massive churches, cobbled alleys, traditional (and incredibly colorful) houses, and bougainvillea trees across all its plazas.
Founded in the 16th century, the city offers unparalleled sights that mix traditional architecture with the charm of Caribbean beachside towns. Its tropical climate and its vibrant nightlife have made it one of the top places to visit in South America and a favorite spot for tourists from all across the world.
The warmth of Colombian people and the richness of its culture gets Colombia at the top of many people’s bucket lists, offering a wide range of diverse experiences. We're very excited about the first-ever A-Fest in South America, and in Colombia, a country with much to discover.
Nos vemos en Cartagena!
