Question

Anything else I should know about traveling to Cartagena?

Answer

There are many street vendors who are often pesky and insistent around the city. Just be ready to have to politely say no to them many times. With that said dont be afraid to try fruit or other things sold in the street around the city if you are wanting to try something ! There are many local foods and fruits that we do not have that are delicious.

Question

Could I pay with credit card?

Answer

You can pay with credit card in many places especially restaurants, hotels, bigger stores, etc. However in local shops it is also very possible that you will have to pay with cash. So we recommend you guys to have at least a bit of Colombian pesos on you.

Question

Is it safe to hail a Taxi? And how much do they Cost?

Answer

It is also very safe to hail a taxi, especially from landmarks. Taxi drivers have set fares to the most popular destinations, so you should confirm the amount before you leave. Private taxi companies (that work directly with hotels) are usually white and will charge a little bit more, but rides are comparatively very inexpensive. Note that taxis in Cartagena do not have taximeters. To make sure you are not surprised at the fare at the destination when in Cartagena, always make sure to ask the fare to the destination before getting in a taxi. Taxis are generally $15,000 COP ($3-5 USD) to most spots in walled city.

Question

Is Uber in Cartagena?

Answer

Yes, Uber is in Cartagena, if you have an international data plan on your mobile phone it can be used.

Make sure to download the UBER app and link it to a credit card with no foreign transaction fees prior to travel.

Answer

Question

Is Cartagena safe?

Answer

This is the most common question we've received and the short answer is, yes! Cartagena is the most visited and safest city in all of Colombia. Like any international tourist destination, "no de papaya," meaning don't make yourself an easy target for pickpocketing. A few words from Anthony Bourdain on Colombia: "It’s ludicrous that this place exists and everyone doesn’t want to live here. Have I said yet how beautiful the place is? It’s incredible. It’s fun. And, yes, it’s safe. Every day, more so. And yet many people still don’t go—I would urge you to put aside the stereotypes. If you want to find bad people in Colombia, you can surely find them, as you could in New York or Los Angeles. But nowhere have my crew and I been treated better or with more kindness and generosity. I’d bring my family on vacation there in a heartbeat. And hope to soon. As I said before: Colombians are proud. Let them show you what they are proud of."
