Havana VIP is Now Cosmopolitours

01/03/2026

We’re proud to share a special milestone for Cosmopolitours.

Our co-founder, art historian Mayret González Rubenstein, was quoted in Travel + Leisure’s newly published guide to Cartagena, written by travel journalist Carley Rojas Avila.

Cartagena is a city where history, cuisine, music, and daily life are inseparable, and experiencing it well requires more than a checklist. It requires context, local insight, and thoughtful guidance.

That philosophy is at the heart of how we design every journey: bespoke, culturally immersive, and crafted with intention.

If Cartagena is on your travel horizon, we would be delighted to help you experience it beyond the surface.

Here’s how to plan a trip to Cartagena, Colombia.

The season ahead belongs to travelers who think differently.

With summer closing, it’s the perfect time to begin envisioning what comes next.

This is the moment to start crafting the journeys of 2025 and 2026, designed with intention, not haste; 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲.

Before the city wakes, Cartagena belongs to her own.
Bold walls, quiet cobblestones, and the first palenqueras, vibrant in color, rich in stories, and carrying the traditions of generations.
El que madruga, Dios lo ayuda — the early riser gets God’s blessing.
Discover Latin America beyond the postcards with Cosmopolitours.

His feet pounded ancient stone as a massive bull charged behind him through the narrow streets of Pamplona.

It wasn’t a dream.
It wasn’t a dare.
It was real.

Our co-founder, Anthony Rubenstein, ran with the bulls during the San Fermín Festival, when he was young, bold, and chasing something he couldn’t quite name.

That moment left its mark.
And it helped shape the way we design travel today: with feeling, with reverence, and with a deep respect for cultural traditions that have endured for centuries.

🧡 Any guesses which city just took the crown for Best City in Europe?
(Hint: it smells like orange blossom in spring and tastes like tapas.)

✨ Seville has just been named the Greatest City in Europe by The Telegraph, and we couldn’t agree more.

Wander through golden alleyways where the scent of azahar lingers in the air… sip a cold caña in a quiet plaza… explore Roman ruins, Moorish palaces, and Gothic cathedrals, sometimes all in the same block.

At Cosmopolitours, we design culturally immersive trips that bring Seville’s beauty, flavor, and soul to life, with private guides, curated tastings, and elegant accommodations.

📍If Seville is calling your name, let us plan your perfect escape.
