All Cartagena Tours

While the bougainvillea-clad balconies and candy-colored houses of Cartagena’s UNESCO-listed Old Town could keep you wandering for days, Cartagena tours explore more than just the historic center. Excursions range from cruising around the paradise Rosario Islands on a catamaran and relaxing at private beach clubs to covering yourself in mineral-enriched mud at the Totumo Mud Volcano. You can even get off the beaten path on an ATV or delve deeper into Cartagena’s unique Colombian-Caribbean culture during a cooking class or street food sampling session.

Q:Is Cartagena a walkable city?
A:

The Old City of Cartagena is extremely walkable, with attractions, restaurants, bars, and the city’s central plazas all within 20 minutes on foot. However, if you choose to stay in the Bocagrande area of beachfront resorts, you may need to car to access other sites. Cartagena tours can also bring you to far-flung attractions without worrying about logistics.

Q:What is Cartagena best known for?
A:

Cartagena is the nightlife and beach capital of Colombia, with Caribbean vibes that permeate the beautiful Old City and the glistening new resorts alike. You’ll find colonial architecture, tropical weather, and a steamy atmosphere both on and off the dance floor.

Q:What is the best month to visit Cartagena?
A:

Cartagena’s tropical climate ensures balmy temperatures year-round, but the summer can be dominated by monsoon-like rains. For that reason, visiting between November and April is most popular, though choosing “shoulder season” in September, October, or May may make for a less expensive trip.

Q:How many days do you need in Cartagena?
A:

It depends on your interests. Three days is a good length for a trip that focuses mostly on the city itself, taking in the nightlife, art, and museums. However, if you want to indulge in Cartagena tours to nearby islands or remote beaches, a week may be ideal.
