Street art is always so vibrant ad a reflection of the culture and issues of a place. Cartagena street art is really of another level.

Bummer. We spent a couple of days in Cartagena and did not know about Getsemani. Cartagena has one of the most beautiful downtown areas that I know of and we spent a lot of time just walking there. We got very close though by visiting Parque Del Centenario which was beautifully decorated for Xmas. We love street art and it seems we need to go there again.

I love this Eric! It seems like gentrification and street art are taking over the whole world, but I love that the street art in Cartagena has so much local culture and history involved (rather than just inviting famous artists from around the world to make their marks.)

I really like the palanqueras, the strong women, the indigenous people murals and the images of Cartagena’s favorite sons.

Did you go on a tour to find out about them all?

Love seeing street art especially from our home country. I’m from Peru but came to Canada at a very young age.

OMG, my favorite is that Black Bird “Maria Mulata” behind the statue of Pedro Romero. It’s gorgeous!

It’s always amazing to see how locals view their hometown. Street art just happens to be a very public way to show it. Thanks for sharing.

I barely explored my hometown so this is definitely an eye opener on how much is out there and that I need to explore more. Kicking comfort zone out of the window real soon.
