A jewel in the Americas
Because beauty is considered by many to be subjective, the magazine’s report began by posing a question: “What makes a city beautiful? Large parks, ancient museums, or surrounding mountains?” Surely the answer is different for each one. That said, here is our by no means exhaustive list of the most beautiful cities in the world.”
This questioning was not random since, for nationalist or progressive reasons, this ‘ranking’ would have certain detractors, who would consider taking into account other parameters to define the beauty of a city, more rooted in administrative issues such as security, education index, among other. However, this list was made purely by letting yourself be carried away by the senses.
The experts came to the conclusion of positioning four Latin American cities within the 25 most beautiful in the world, and only one is within the ‘top’ 10 of the most outstanding. This city is located on the Colombian Caribbean coast and is a tourist, historical and social reference for the country and the region: Cartagena de Indias.
La Heroica, as it is poetically known, has been part of the top 10 of the exclusive list, where the magazine has emphasized that “Cartagena attracts visitors with its winning combination of beaches and Caribbean islands, five centuries of history and a old passable and extremely photographable.”
