FLAVOURS OF COLOMBIA

IN AND AROUND CARTAGENA. Charlie Ottley checks out the famous and breathtaking Cartagena, host to the Hay Book Festival and one of the most historic cities in South America. Charlie joins in the festival, meets some of its leading lights and visits some of the more unusual sights in town, like the Palace of the Inquisition and a restaurant devoted to Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Charlie then takes a boat ride up the great Magdalena River to the picturesque colonial town of Mompox. There Charlie demonstrates how to get a full body skin treatment as he immerses himself in a small but perfectly formed volcano.
