Photo quests in Cartagena

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Cartagena holds six quests across five categories, and Party is the largest group by some way: two of them against one for Art. The categories with nothing in Cartagena so far are History and Beach.

Two of them are tier 1 — finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other four are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers four of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

Party is the group where the hour decides everything: the same address is a landmark at midnight and an empty street at six. Art covers the work and the building around it, so a mural on an ordinary street counts alongside the collection with a ticket desk. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Cartagena quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The two quests in Cartagena the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Questions

About quests in Cartagena

How many photo quests are there in Cartagena?
6, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest group is Party (2). Nothing in History and Beach here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Centenario Park, Las Botas Viejas and Posta Negra.
What is there to do in Cartagena beyond the obvious?
2 of the 6 quests in Cartagena are tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Cartagena holds two at tier 1, none at tier 2 and four at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Centenario Park and Las Botas Viejas, which fall under Nature and Art.
Can you do all the Cartagena quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 6 falls within 5.6 km of the middle of the Cartagena list — walking and local transport, not day trips — so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one.
Which Cartagena quests can you do for free?
4 of the 6 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 6 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Cartagena means two quests: Centenario Park and Las Botas Viejas.
How do I prove I visited a place in Cartagena?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Cartagena is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Centenario Park fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Cartagena sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from.
