). The rainy months are from April to May and from September to November.I recommend staying in the Old City of Cartagena cos it is the nicest part of town. That is enough to make me visit on its own! Most vendors are located at the beaches of Bocagrande, Laguito and Playa Blanca; we are very sure you gonna find different prices from each vendor and please never accept nothing for free, we can asure you it will cost you more, for that you should alway agree on price before taking or accepting any product or service from any vendor.Colombia is the land of bargain and Cartagena is not the exception, being such a touristic city, local vendors take advantage on increasing their prices to those who seem more ‘’gringos’’ :D and even more if they don’t speak any spanish; so it is all about your attitude and ability to negotiate. They each have their pros and cons.

Oh, and don't forget to carry your camera ;)








MelanieI’ve only been to Cartegna as a small child. It has the most gorgeous tropical patio and the food is always extraordinary.

Get your walking shoes on and your smiles ready for some amazing photo opportunities. The best shot here, is to take a day trip excursion to one of the hotels to offer the "day pass" service, however be aware of the option you choose as if your plan is to enjoy a quiet and relaxing day at the beach, most of this hotels host hundreds of people everyday; besides, not even all of them have really a beach.Isla Grande is the most extensive of all, with a vast offer of places to spend your day along with options of accommodation, from hotels with all the amenities to eco friendly hotels with hammocks and cabanas.


For more information, Cartagena to Santa Marta and Tayrona Shuttle Transfer Each of them are beautiful and diverse in their own way and have something to offer for everyone – whether you are looking to relax on a private beach/island, snorkel or dive, or actually party on an island !

But things today are very different especially in touristy areas like Cartagena. The Bucket List just got longer. I didn’t feel unsafe at all and I had my camera with me in Baru! My favorite spot in Islas Rosario I’ve been to so far has been Gente Del Mar island (pictured here)!





)Then, once you’re dropped at Playa Blanca, hop on a motorbike to take you to the end of the road where the beach is.

Can’t beat this spot for a go-to Cartagena hotel.
