Flight

Rafael Nunez Airport - CTG

Cartagena has one small main airport so flights book up quickly. We recommend that you book your flights as soon as possible. There are direct flights from major cities, however, there are also connections from Bogota (El Dorado Airport) or Panama City (Tocumen International Airport). The airport is located approximately 15 minutes by taxi from El Centro. This should cost approximately $5-$10 USD. If you have cellular service, Uber works well in the city to get to and from any destinations. You will need to fill out a migration form 24 hours before your flight to and from the country. It should come up in your email three days before, but please make sure this is completed before you fly!

House Or Rental

AirBnb/VRBO House Rentals

We highly recommend AirBnB's or VRBO house rentals for the weekend if you would like to have a little bit more of a Cartagena charm! You can often find luxury homes for very reasonable per night rates. Please restrict your search to El Centro/The Centro/The Walled City, as this is the best location for access to all of our events. In addition, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Melissa's mother (Soraya) on WhatsApp (+1-914-230-5040) to get more details on the area.
