My daughter and I came across Arte Getsemaní as we were exploring the city. Zoé, the owner, was hanging some paintings on the wall across the street from the gallery as we came up and she was immediately incredibly warm and open. She told us about the origins of the gallery, her kids, how she had lived in New York for a while and was beyond welcoming.

She has a couple of dozen artists who she sells for, her selection is great, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for original art works that represent a ton of local styles. So many great vibrant offerings scaling from small postcard sized watercolors to very large wall hangings.

If you're visiting Cartagena I would seriously go out of your way to swing by to pick up some affordable original momentos and to...

Casually popped in with a friend while vacationing in Cartagena. We were quickly greeted by Christian who was so charming! You could tell he loves his job. I pointed out a painting I loved and he energetically showed me more by the same artist and gave some advice on helping me with my selection. I didn’t have any pesos on me at the time and he gave me his personal number to contact him and let him know when I was ready to return, which is above and beyond customer service! I came back and bought 2 paintings, and returned with my friend the next day so she could buy one as well. On our last day in Cartagena we ran into Christian outside our AirBnB and he greeted us like old friends. I can’t say enough about what a great experience we had with...
