Bit of a trip to get there but worth the trip. Views are just stunning and convent is beautiful to visit. Most of the panels are Spanish only but easy to read / translate.

A must for any first time visit to Cartagena! We rented scooters and rode up here to explore. It was an amazing view and spectacular building.

Beautiful old convent that hosted a Papal Visit and is still in use by a few monks. It's located high above the city. The ride up is a pilgrimage of switchbacks and the views are stunning.
