Getsemani the authentic neighborhood of Cartagena de Indias
Getsemani is the neighborhood for the people.
Back in the day, it was a dense neighborhood.
It was the neighborhood for prostitution, drug, and violence.
It is the place where you still have the proud locals in the street with tourists, language students, police, bohemian artists, the homeless, enigmatic street…
The different morals represent new issues that are plaguing Getsemani, such as racial segregation, gentrification, and increasing tourism.
Nobody cares who you are which is an incredible feeling! In Getsemani we are all together in the neighborhood. There is no difference between you and me.

It is similar to the Wynwood Art District in Miami but, in a different way.
Getsemani is all About the Life On the Street

The most important part is to be in the street in Getsemani.
