Cartagena, Colombia, stands out as one of the most enchanting cities globally. This lively colonial town bursts with color, where salsa rhythms can be heard from every corner at night. Here, the celebration never ceases, making sleep a rare luxury. I made it a point to rise at dawn a few times to capture the city's stunning beauty in peace, away from the crowds.
