Cartagena Resorts & Tours

Cartagena is a historic port city on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, known for its colorful walled Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its Spanish colonial fortresses. Most visitors stay inside the walled city, in the lively Getsemaní neighborhood just outside the walls, or in the high-rise beach district of Bocagrande.

International flights land at Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG), about 10 to 15 minutes from the walled city and 20 to 30 minutes from Bocagrande. The local currency is the Colombian peso. It is hot and humid all year, and the driest months run from about December to April, while October and November are usually the wettest.
