Flight
We can't wait for everyone to see Cartagena's Airport! It's small, but it accommodates. CTG is the only airport to fly into. Little do most people know, Colombia is huge. It's twice the size of Texas. There are multiple ways to fly into CTG. We have seen some decent fares at this point. 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. Note: To enter Colombia, your passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months after your travel dates. U.S. citizens do not need a Colombian visa for a tourist stay. Please check with your hotel if they can pick you up, if they do not offer this service please let us know, we are happy to help!
Travel Note
It is approx. $10 taxi or Uber ride from the airport to the hotel area. If you are staying in Cartagena's Old City, it is a 10-minute drive from the airport. If you are staying in Bocagrande (Hyatt, Intercontinental, Hampton Inn), it is a 15-minute drive. Once you walk out of the airport, you will see the taxi line. There's a window where you will tell them where you're going and they will hand you a ticket, which you will give to the driver. If you use a taxi, be sure to agree on the fare with your driver before leaving the airport. A taxi to the Old City will cost you less than 20,000 Colombian pesos (approximately $5-7 USD). You can also pre-arrange with your hotel to be picked up directly from the airport.

Another option is the Sofitel’s sister hotel, Bovedas Santa Clara. It’s located almost next door to the Sofitel and allows you to use all the Sofitel amenities.
