Oranjestad
Oranjestad, the historic Dutch capital of Aruba, is located along the picturesque south coast, and it is considered a paradise for the senses by every tourist.
Boutiques, exclusive shops, street vendors, casinos and a wide range of restaurants, discos and bars make Orajestad a very popular tourist destination in Aruba. In addition to shops, restaurants and entertainment, in the city you can visit museums, a butterfly farm, art galleries, golf, historical sites and a functional touristic port. The colonization of the island by Netherlands is demonstrated in Dutch colonial architecture that is mixed with distinctly Caribbean brightly coloured buildings.

Cartagena De Indias
The City is a fairytale of romanticism, legends and pure beauty. Cartagena de Indias is an exciting place you will fall in love with.
The city was one of the first sanctuaries of African slaves freed in the America and is today populated by an ethnic melting pot of Colombian varieties. It is a vivid city, the ideal place if you are looking for something different from the usual touristic routine. To immerge in the city, you just have to have a walk through Cartagena’s labyrinth of cobblestones alleys, where huge balconies are wrapped by bugainvilles and massive churches cast their shadows on the tree-lined squares. Take your time and relax in one of the many cafes in Cartagena.

Balboa
Balboa, located at the end of the Panama Canal, is known for being the port of Panama City. Geographically it is close to the canal docks and the Ancón hill behind it which separates it from Panama City.
Balboa owes its name to the Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa who reached this land in 1914. Before being annexed to Panama City as a district, Balboa was for a long time controlled by the Americans who took care of the construction of many of the buildings and structures still present today within the city.
The canal on one side and the hills on the other create an enchanting landscape where the blue of the sea and the green of the hills merge in a unique way creating a perfect combination. Among the various activities that can be carried out in Balboa, hiking is certainly one of the main ones. The paths immersed in the green will allow you to fully experience the beauty of the nature of this place and to enjoy the suggestive view of all its beauties and uniqueness from above.
The best way to reach the city is on board a cruise ship. Choose a cruise that departs from Balboa or has the city as a stop to admire up close the unique beauty of this territory and to set off to discover Central America, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean.
