At Cartagena de Indias Convention Center we celebrate over 37 years of existence by deploying all of our building’s magnificence and class due to a recent investment of over $15.2 billion COP from Grupo Heroica SAS, the venue’s operator, whose main goal is to increase competitiveness while relying on a highly environmentally aware infrastructure. With modern facilities and highly multipurpose spaces, all the while respecting an architectural and traditional integrity, we have conquered more than three decades of holding governmental, national and international events of the highest level. The Cartagena de Indias Convention Center’s versatility allows us to host government summits, conferences, conventions, board meetings, product launch events, award shows or dream weddings, maintaining the same level of professionalism. We are the only venue in the country with a gold certification awarded by the International Association of Convention Centers (AIPC), as well as the Bureau Veritas quality management systems certification, validating our operational processes.

The Bridge Gateway, better known as the Clock Tower Entrance, was the only access to the historic downtown from outlying Getsemaní by means of a drawbridge spanning the old San Anastasio channel. Constructed at the same time as the first closure of the city about 1631, the primitive portal did not have a long life since it was destroyed during the French siege of 1697.

Our company is founded on the premise of providing the finest service and the highest quality of boats for touring the islands of Rosario and Baru. The founders had spent years making trips to these islands and were never satisfied with both the level of service or quality of the boats on offer. With such a gap in the market the company has proved very successful ever since its beginnings in 2015. We take pride in providing stress-free, customized island tours and will endeavor to meet any customer requirements. Our extensive fleet of modern and well-kept vessels all come with a professional, friendly and attentive captain and assistant. All options are fitted with powerful Bluetooth sound systems and all our yachts have air-conditioned interiors with full bathrooms. Our team are a mix of Colombians and internationals, coming from different backgrounds but all having extensive experience in the service industry; from restaurants and hotels to Scuba diving and tour guiding. Our boat crews, the captains and assistants, are from the surrounding area of Cartagena and have worked on the water and with tourists all their lives.
