Flight
Rafael Núñez International Airport
There are multiple ways to fly into CTG, but sadly not a lot of direct flights. We have seen some decent fares at this point, so if you find something within the price range (350-500), you should book! Typically, the best fares are about 120-150 days prior to the date. Nonetheless, we advise everyone to research flights on google flights or hopper and set an alert for prices of your preferred route. The best way to fly from: The Mid-West is from Madison or Chicago to Florida and then take a 3-hour flight to Cartagena. Colorado, you can fly to Miami or Texas and then take the 3-hour flight to Cartagena. Also, if you find an excellent price flying first to Bogota ( Colombia's capital) and then Cartagena, book it! Maybe you want to explore the capital, Camila's hometown.

House Or Rental
AIRB&B
For groups of friends or family traveling together, Cartagena offers several amazing AirBNB options — many of which can house up to 16 people comfortably! You can pick to stay in the old city if you are in a Colonial mood or you can pick staying in "El laguito" where all the apartments and big hotels are. The ceremony and reception are taking place in the old city but is just a 10 min ride from El laguito. If you are debating where to stay or which Airbnb to book, please contact Cami. She will be happy to assist!

TRANSPORTATION
When you arrive, you can take a 5 minute taxi drive to the hotel. It should be less than $10 USD. Please use the fare estimate machine outside the airport, next to the money exchange, to find out the correct price of your ride, and confirm the price with the driver before getting into the taxi. To get around the city, we suggest walking. The old city is so small, you can walk from one end to the other in about 15 minutes! If you’d like to explore the newer part of Cartagena or go outside of the walled city, we suggest taking a taxi. They are cheap and safe, so no need for rentals! We will be providing shuttle transportation after the wedding, so you can enjoy yourselves without having to worry!
