Drone Videos of Cartagena

Cartagena is located on the north (Caribbean) coast of Colombia.  It's a major shipping port (the country's largest, measured by overall freight volume) and Colombia's fifth largest city.  Cartagena was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century, and went on to become the largest seaport in the once-mighty Spanish Empire.  In this video, contributor Alta Vista Epic Aerials used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create an amazing aerial view of this walled South American city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

AirVuz contributor OOO Photography used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone to create this marvelous aerial tour of the great Caribbean port city of Cartagena, Colombia.  With its protected waters and natural defenses against piracy, Cartagena became the key seaport for the vast Spanish overseas empire which sprang up following the Columbus voyages of the late 15th century.  The video features footage of key sites of the walled city such as the Cartagena Cathedral and the San Pedro Claver Church, as well as the ultramodern Bocagrande district.

The city of Cartagena, Colombia has a storied history.  During Colonial days, the city became the most important port in the Spanish Empire, serving as the hub through which the vast silver and gold deposits of the Western Hemisphere passed en route to the mother country.  Key to the defense of Cartagena was the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas (San Felipe Castle), which sits in a highly strategic position on a hill overlooking the city.  Seen here in this drone video by rkmaerial, the great fortification was built beginning in 1536.

For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor The Solo Traveler ORD brings us this fantastic drone video from the city of Cartagena, Colombia.  The video was shot in October, 2020, as the country began to ease some social distancing measures imposed to combat the spread of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic.  Most of the video was shot over the Bocagrande area, which sits on a narrow strip of land just south of the central city.  With its ultra-modern hotels and residential towers, it often draws comparisons to Miami Beach.
