Hello and welcome to the Cartagena Guide! My name is Heidy and I am so excited for you to explore Cartagena. It was everything I dreamt of and more. I want to help you experience a trip of a lifetime so here's everything you need to know:
Nestled along the Caribbean coast of Colombia, Cartagena is a captivating city that seamlessly blends centuries-old history with vibrant modern life. Known for its stunning architecture, rich culture, and alluring beaches, Cartagena has become a sought- after destination for travelers from around the world. The heart of Cartagena lies within its historic walled city, that transport visitors back in time to the colonial era. Cobble stone streets wind through colorful buildings adorned with intricately designed balconies overflowing with flowers.
In Cartagena, the past and the present coexist harmoniously, creating an atmosphere that captures the imagination and leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. Whether wandering through the historic streets, lounging on pristine beaches, or immersing oneself in the local culture, Cartagena offers an enchanting experience that continues to beckon travelers to its shores.
Planning Your Departure:
So when is the best time to visit Cartagena? According to Travellers Worldwide, the months of December- April.. the dry season.. are ideal for your visit to Colombia. Daytime highs in the upper 80s and nighttime lows in the upper 70s. During this time, rain is uncommon, though it is possible to experience a few showers at the start of December or the end of April. Visitors can take advantage of the city’s outdoor activities because of the reliable weather.
Arrival:
You'll arrive at Rafeal Núñez International Airport (CTG). From there I would suggest using Uber to get to each destination. Uber is super affordable in South America.
