I’m planning a 10 day trip to Columbia this winter. Fly into and out of Cartagena.
I was thinking of doing 4 days in Cartagena to explore the city and surrounding areas. For those that have done Columbia, would love some recommendations on what to see and do those 4 days. We are open to in the city or day trip. Also recommendations on where to go the remaining 6 days. We are open to renting a car but would prefer not to have to fly unless necessary to go to some must see place. TIA |
It's Colombia. |
+1. Embarrassing. |
You should not be allowed to go if you cant spell it. |
Colombia. |
I tend to agree |
Yea, OP, please reconsider your plans. Spelling the country's name wrong is really embarrassing. I have a hunch you don't speak a world of Spanish and have zero experience in Latin America? |
You might want to start by spelling the country’s name properly. I thought I had wandered into the college forum by accident. |
I just love South Carolina! Have fun! |
People, lay off the spelling. If OP types about the clothing brand that is called Columbia a lot, her phone might just be auto-correcting.
OP, I went to Colombia right before Covid, but I did not go to Cartegena. I went to Medellin and Bogota. I LOVED Medellin. I know you said you would prefer not to fly, but it really would be the easiest way. You said winter--will you be there around Christmas time? |
I wouldn’t set foot there. It’s dangerous. |
I’ve been to Bogota before. Search the forums for bogota. It was very nice and walkable. Lots of upscale shopping too, and a huge coffee shop culture. Lots of parks and people walking around w dogs. High altitude so drink lots of water take it easy and stay hydrated. |
Yes this! Good grief. |
If you think that l agree you should stay away. I spent 2 months there as a cute 35 year old woman traveling on my own and had a great time. I know how to take care of myself though. |
The beaches North of Santa Marta - google Tayrona - are absolutely stunning |
