Emerald Shopping Tour in Cartagena
- Meet your tour guide in Plaza de la Aduana, then walk around town to visit key sites and monuments while learning about the importance of gemstones in the city's history.
- Continue to a well-known, friendly, and reputable jewellery store in the Old City that certifies the authenticity of every piece it sells and offers a permanent guarantee. Colombia is the world's leading emerald producer and offers a quality you couldn't find anywhere else, along with a great variety of colours, shapes, and sizes. Cartagena is the country's leading international showcase for this valuable gemstone.
