Baru Beach (Playa Blanca) take a bus there or boat?

4 Upvotes

Is a boat from the pier area a lot more expensive than taking a bus? I went by taxi once and found the journey bumpy (bad road) and even a little sketchy. I did the boat once and it was pretty fast. Can't remember how much more expensive it was, though.

How would you spend 1 full day?

1 Upvotes

My husband and I only have 1 full day in Cartagena. We get in on 9/14 around 1pm, 1 full day on 9/15, leave to Minca on 9/16 and staying in Old Town.

I’ve been looking at beach clubs since I feel like we’d just walk around on 9/14.

Recomendación de visitas de islas

3 Upvotes

Hola a todos! Me interesa conocer algunas de las islas de Cartagena, pero no me encanta la idea de pagar una agencia de viajes porque no quiero seguir el plan de alguien más ni estar con demasiada gente. Quisiera esencialmente poder solo llegar a la isla y ahí hacer lo que yo quiera, y por eso tengo algunas dudas.

Para llegar a alguna isla (Tierra Bomba por ejemplo), como puedo encontrar transporte marítimo que no sea de una agencia de tours?

En qué islas es más fácil encontrar restaurantes y se puede pagar con tarjeta?

Estaré muy agradecido de escuchar sus comentarios. Gracias!!!

Recomendaciones de restaurantes para grupo grande

3 Upvotes

¡Hola! Vamos a viajar a Cartagena en un grupo de 20+ personas. Buscamos un restaurante para una cena de grupo que sea relativamente económico/buena relación calidad-precio (nada de lujo) y que fique en Getsemaní o Centro Histórico.

Lo más importante es que tengan espacio para acomodar a tantas personas juntas y buena comida.

¿Alguna recomendación de sitios que manejen bien grupos grandes sin inflar demasiado los precios? ¡Muchas gracias!

hotel with pool and bar

3 Upvotes

Hi, looking for the best hotels in the old walled city with a decent pool (not just a small plunge pool) and a bar, bonus points if there is a poolside bar!

Busco un hotel con una piscina grande y un bar donde tomar algo; un bar junto a la piscina sería ideal.

Rosario Islands to Cartagena Ferry

2 Upvotes

Hi Everyone. I’ll be in Cartagena in December. Struggling to find an early return ferry from the Rosario Islands to Cartagena. Have an international flight that leaves at 3:40pm and am worried there are no reliable options to get from the islands to the airport.

Are there any early morning ferries that would leave enough time to get to the airport? I haven’t been able to find any online.

Thank you for the help

1 day in Cartagena- 2 best restaurants to go to?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ll be spending one day in Cartagena and would love your recommendations for two restaurants: one for lunch and one for dinner.

I’d love to try authentic local Cartagena food at one, and something different for the other, a more upscale dining experience.

If you could only recommend two restaurants, which would you choose?

Thank you in advance for your recommendations!

Hi!

Hope everyone is doing well. My buddies and I are heading to Cartagena for a Bachelor party in February (25th-28th). We went to Medellin a few years back so not too concerned about the rappers and street vendors, especially coming from NY we have no problem telling people “No Gracias”.

I am reaching out for recommendations - we wanted to play a round of Golf..has anyone played Karibana? Also, any restaurant / night club / boat rentals and or beach club parties would be appreciated. We are staying in the Walled City. Thank you in advance for any help/recommendations.
