Lost in Cartagena: Walking the MOST FORGOTTEN Streets of Colombia
Вставка

- After a bad experience in Bocagrande, I travelled into the street markets of Cartagena. Follow me to get a sense of what life is like for everyday Colombians.
Colombian here.
Nice video man. You really got to experiece and show to everyone the two sides of the coin here.
Although I'm more impressed you had the courage to go around with the camera on your own. It's very common for thiefs there to pass by on motorcycles and grab phones or whatever and then left at top speed.
Blessings Andres! Whenever I’m filming I’m usually very alert…. Then after the clip is over I drop the camera to my hip
Hi man, I found your videos about my home country Guatemala, watche'm all, and what a surprise your are now in Cartagena, a city I will be visiting next month!!! so I'll be watching all this videos too hahahaha, have a nice trip!.
Thank you so much my bother!!!! Be safe in Cartagena and have fun! Thank you for watching I’m actually writing to you from the airport…. I’m heading back into Colombia for so more action! Should have a video ready to go by Thursday or Sunday 🙏🏾
Another cool video. Love these keep it up. Bet that coconut was good and the chorizo. Did u see the lady behind u? So cute it was like she was saying yes it’s corn based and the kid. So cute. The music was amazing. Can’t wait to see ur next stop.
Mayyyyyy!!! What’s up fam! I have Costa Rica on the editing block but Im on my way to Medellin right now so I may just drop Medellin this Thursday or Sunday-ish then edit and drop Costa Rica after.
That last was my favorite…. She was looking after me all the way.
@@KeenanLambert198 lol 😂 so cool glad u r doing what u love. Love these videos
Interesting place and people. Great content. Please stay safe down there. 😃
Thanks JD!!!! Heading off to Medellin in a few✊🏾… I’m sitting on some Costa Rica content too… I will drop that after Medellin 😁
Wow very interesting place, thank you for sharing, great video, safe travels.
Thank you for coming by and watching radical! Much love fam
We just returned from there yesterday..... we stayed on the "beach" side of things where the usual "bus" tourist traps were but was a enjoyable trip. it gave me a "Little Miami" vibe.
Bocagrande definitely feels like Mid Beach in Miami Beach. I was there last week because the round trip was 40 bucks and I definitely needed a beach day…
Did they try to sell you the world when you were out on the beach?
The Bazurto is definitely a place you can get lost in. It's like a maze when you get into those nooks and crannies. You can really get good local prices there. I've never felt unsafe there its just that you won't be surrounded by tourists or foreigners for that matter. Not able to find fried fish????? My eyes are ogling out of my head right now LOL...... It's everywhere. I'm sure you saw it right after you stopped looking for it hehehehe. I think there is a tour that will take you there but you can totally go on your own if you can navigate Spanish fairly well. BASEMENT parties...... You took it back. Good video. Cartagena is my most favored city in Colombia. It sometimes gets a bad wrap because of its heat but man I live for that. The heat, the beach, the coastal vibes.... home. Colombiano en mi corazon.
Everything you said was 100% facts… I did find a spot on the way out but it was way too dark to film in… Bazurto is 100% safe in the daytime…. I felt safer here than Bocagrande and old city. But then a market woman told me it can get dangerous for foreigners at night (Hence my clickbait-ish title lol)
Welcome again! & shutout to the basement parties of back in the day 🤣.
Good that you know how to speak different language Keenan. You can directly talk to them. A good walk around, it's really important to know more around the place to be safe. Stay safe out there Keenan and God bless your travels. The food that you ate first that looks like a burger looks yumm too
Awsome thanks for sharing !
Thank you for coming by as always! So supportive and positive.... Thank you Axel!!! I had a lot of fun here... I would def go back.
@@KeenanLambert198 am enjoying.looks like am also in that place😉 a virtual tour from your videos is cool to watched tho
Bazurto is not very dangerous in itself, I've already been there several times when i was in Cartagena to eat and I've walked around without any worries and the advantage is that there are always people around us so it's good.
Thats correct.... Bazurto is vibessss
My brother I've been Cartagena many time and as long as you don't act stupid it's safer them Miami, New York and many others cities within the U.S with that said. Mercado Basulto is way safer...Thanks for the video.
I tend to agree with you here…. I was walking through Medellin yesterday and saw this guy.
Bloodied up pretty bad.
It’s kind of safe in the city centre and the old historic city the government made sure they bombarded this two places with police as it attracts a lot of tourism but it’s still quit unsafe in terms that you could get robbed at night it’s very unsafe if you go the wrong way around the historic city and the city centre but never step outside does two areas as you will be stepping into the real Cartagena which is where the people of Cartagena live and This neighbourhoods or just the normal life and city’s outside of them tourist areas are extremely dangerous and poor it probably has a homocide rate of 60 to 70 per 100,0000 way way higher then Miami or the whole USA combined I was incredibly surprised by Keenan walking around the old market like that with his camera out and stuff i was born in Colombia but had the blessing to move countries n seeing him doing surprised as I wouldn’t even walk there by myself as a gringonegro tourist but good that he spoke Spanish before he spoke English and that your where negro as they probably think your just another cartagenero but keenan you need to be careful more bro don’t ever go to any city in South America to any part that is not a tourist area by urself or at night because there’s a reason it’s the most violent region in the world bro most people think that the area that the tourist go is how everyone in city live but it’s far from it just given Heads up
Great stuff as always
One love fam🙏🏾. Nuf respect
What part of Cartagena was this located?
About 20 mins walk from Old City, kinda on the back end of the bay... Put in Mercado Bazurto on Google Maps if you want to look around a little.
The real Cartagena, the Cartagena outside the tourist areas and maybe four rich neighborhoods, ranges from filthy, run-down underdevelopment to uber-filthy third-world shithole. And that's not counting the _invasiones_ or illegal land-grab settlements, where even the police don't dare enter. I have not encountered so many megatons of trash and building refuse (chunks of brick, cement, sidewalk, wall, roof, etc.) scattered about everywhere as in Cartagena. It's in a league of its own! The people outside the tourist areas are absolutely great, though! Nothing at all like the thousands of scammers and pushers who roam the walled city!
My Brother Keenan your doing it man, Keenan what's the exchange rate in Cartegena
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The exchange rate was like 5K COP to 1 USD but now it’s closer to 4K to 1 USD now 😩!
Alert: Danger …..Guy chewing!
🔥🔥🔥
What was the dangerous part?
According to the market woman who I spoke to…. There is targeted theft and it’s somewhat unusual for them to see foreigners in that part of town….
It’s so crowded there
@@DarraCherieTV Oh yeahhhh... Super intense.... Reminds me of NY
Here you go again on the dangerous streets smh lol I’ve always wanted to stick a straw in a coconut 😂
BIG D! Thank for swinging by and visiting you brother! You'll def get one in CANCUN! We litttt... You know I like the streets!
Nice video Bro but at no time were you in a dangerous part of Cartagena, of which there are plenty.
The title is just a selling point… I felt more comfortable here than in Bocagrande.
Quite right. Bazurto looks like a shithole, and it _is_ in fact a shithole, and a stinky one at that -- but it's not a dangerous shithole.
I like the way you do
Thank you for the compliment Mary!
Why the click bait? Its misleading and unnecessary. I know exactly where this is and its not dangerous. We already have enough people associating black neighborhoods with "danger." Just be authentic.
Chanel,
I would like to start off by indicating how much I really appreciate the sentiment behind this question. Apologies if the title triggered you negatively (My ex-girlfriend, who is Dominican, called me to question the title of this video).... I don't know to what degree you are familiar with my channel, however, I continously seek to show the reality of people in countries English speakers only see as "destinations'. In the long term, I want my viewers to be stripped of the prejudices society has provided them with.
As a Small UA-cam creator, who is intentionally not objectifying black and brown women as a hook for viewers, I recognize the need to sensationalize titles to pull in viewers. I'm actually using people's prejudices as a hook, and showing a positive, culture filled, relatable experience.... I hope you respond with your thoughts.... Bless up
#1 goal should be not to get robbed & killed, #2 goal not to get ran over. Side note * those are not the Most dangerous street of Columbia as the title says. That's still close to the tourist areas, go to Bogota slums & walk around with your phone on a selfie stick, you WILL get robbed in a blink.
😬 my titles are a hook to play on the prejudices of society… I felt more welcomed by the people of the Bazurto Market area than anywhere else in Colombia. Literally everyone was kind…
Check out my Medellin video…. The streets of Medellin def are real…. I use a DJI Action and a Hohem Gimbal stabilizer.
First person not showing only the pristine and fancy áreas of Cartagena, it was the popular music, Market, foods and how is the social difference in the most touristic City.
Ah, you don't say hot for spicy in Colombia, it's picante only. Good vibes !... BUENA VIBRA!
Thank you for watching my brother!
You also say picoso right? I think people there in this video said picoso
@@dreamthedream8929 in Colombia, picante or... pica..., picoso in other countries
the music at 6:05 sounded very much like calypso
Big time!!!! I think they call it Champeta, but I’m not sure…. It was a vibe my brother
Looks like typical Colombia lol, it’s not that dangerous if you speak Spanish and walk around in daytime but just be smart don’t flash cash and nice things. I’ve been to a bunch of those places too and had no issues in Cartagena or Medellin.
You are 100% spot on… To be honest, I felt more at home here than in Bocagrande….
San Andres....you should've gone there. They speak patois and Spanish 🇯🇲
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Done kno seh we far and wide
Click bait title. Are you really lost or just in the hood? Be honest bro.
Absolutely a click inducing title… The “Lost” series is a group of videos wherein I travel outside of the tourist areas to find real culture and real people… I use strong language to entice would be viewers to click and watch….
Do you have any other questions about the content?
Thanks.
@@KeenanLambert198 The content is fine, and I appreciate your response.
Be careful play boi
Doing my best fam
El que estaba con tigo
Sí en el campo de beisbol! Que tal hermanito!?
Arepas were created in Colombia
I like them a lot!
It's safer then south side chicago for sure 😆 🤣
I tend to agree with you……. You might have given me an idea for a future video 😁
If it’s dangerous then #DNTLNK
Always LNK! 🤣🤣
The most dangerous streets of Colombia? With all respect but that sounds very exaggerated...Cartagena is safe ;)
Good morning David, except for some areas here and there, Cartagena is mostly safe…. This title is designed to be an attention grabber…
@@KeenanLambert198 oh ok, :) have a good day
You have not been to Cali then haha
Realistically,
I felt more at home in these back ends than in Bocagrande and old city.
Boring
Thanks for watching!
