We were born in the streets of Getsemaní with a clear mission: to break the symbolic walls that separate tourist Cartagena from the real, living, resilient city.
Beyond the Wall was born in 2018 as a purpose-driven tourism project, founded by young Cartageneros with a clear vision: to break the symbolic walls that separate tourist Cartagena from the real, living, resilient city. Our name is no accident. We wanted to invite travelers beyond the walled city, across invisible borders, to discover the cultural richness of popular neighborhoods and the Afro-descendant and Indigenous communities that have built this city from its roots.
What started as an idea among friends has grown into a pioneering community and impact tourism agency, known for authentic, respectful, deeply human experiences. Every tour we design is a direct collaboration with community leaders and local artists who share their knowledge, traditions, and passion with each visitor.
Today, Beyond The Wall is recognized nationally and internationally as a reference for community and cultural tourism in the Colombian Caribbean. We have been featured in media such as Condé Nast Traveler and The New York Times, and in 2023 we received the Tourism Innovation Award for our social impact model.
“It's not just a pickup — it's living history”
Trabajamos en tres ejes fundamentales para generar un impacto real y sostenible en las comunidades de Cartagena.
Cada tour de Beyond the Wall esta disenado en colaboracion con lideres comunitarios, artistas locales, cocineras tradicionales y portadores de saberes ancestrales. Asi, generamos empleo digno, fortalecemos el tejido social y revalorizamos las expresiones culturales que muchas veces han sido invisibilizadas.
