La Popa Convent
When the traveler approaches Cartagena by any of the three routes - land, sea or air - the first thing that you can see from a distance is a mountain range or small hill, whose highest part measures 148 meters above sea level. It has always been called La Popa de La Galera. When the visitor penetrates inside the convent, he is admired by the magnificence of the central courtyard and, above all, by the solidity of columns and walls capable of resisting attacks and bombings. The church was dedicated to the purification of the Virgin or Candlemas, name that comes from the candles that bless in his honor on February 2, holiday day. There is no festivity in Cartagena, neither civic nor religious, that has a splendor equal, and not even similar, to that of the Candelaria de la Popa festival. The crowds that form in the solemn precession on February 2, from the sanctuary of La Popa to the city center, are not contemplated in any other popular concentration

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cartagena City Tour with Popa Hill (PM): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Cartagena City Tour with Popa Hill (PM) cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cartagena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cartagena City Tour with Popa Hill (PM) take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cartagena is not rushed.
Is Cartagena City Tour with Popa Hill (PM) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 213 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cartagena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cartagena City Tour with Popa Hill (PM)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cartagena City Tour with Popa Hill (PM) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cartagena City Tour with Popa Hill (PM)?
+
Around 75 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cartagena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cartagena and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cartagena City Tour with Popa Hill (PM) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cartagena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cartagena?
+
On Outty we rank every Cartagena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cartagena Street Food Tour: 10 Local Tastings in the Walled City, Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena Cooking Class with Local Chef (Small Group Experience). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cartagena?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cartagena?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
