This is a mostly walking tour so it is recommended to bring comfortable and light clothing and footwear. Cartagena is a city with high temperatures and variable weather so it can change quickly from a sunny day to a rainy one. It is therefore advisable to use sunscreen, bring light clothing for the heat and a waterproof poncho in case it rains. It is essential to bring water to hydrate yourself during the tour.
