Cartagena: the city made famous by Michael Douglas and his questionable acting in the 80s movie Romancing the Stone. Coming from Houston, TX, the weather in Cartagena was by far the hottest and most humid we have ever experienced. To top it off, air conditioning is a prized luxury and in our hostel, it only made its presence known from 7pm to 11am. Despite this, nothing bonds you closer than huddling next to the AC with complete strangers.

Cartagena has an energetic vibe stemming from its days as a Spanish colonial port.
