About this activity

Embark on a thrilling pirate adventure with this immersive 3D audio guide!

Starting at the Bastion of Santo Domingo, this self-guided tour takes you through Cartagena’s most legendary pirate tales. Your narrator is no ordinary guide—he’s Black Bart, a real pirate! His rough, authentic voice brings history to life, though his pirate speech can be tricky to understand—just like a true corsair!

With 3D sound effects, you’ll hear cannon blasts, creaking ships, and the lively streets of old Cartagena. Follow Black Bart’s tales and uncover the secrets of famous raiders like Drake, Vernon, Hawkins, and the ruthless Baron de Pointis. Learn about daring attacks, hidden treasures, and the pirate code.

⚠️ Important: This is a self-guided audio tour. It does not include entrance tickets, WiFi, or a live guide. Just bring your phone and headphones.
