Cristina and Mike have booked an excursion at the private beach club, Blue Apple Beach, for guests who are interested in attending. Details to follow. The cost for the excursion will be USD$60 for adults and will include transportation between the Cartagena Pier (just outside the walled city) and the beach, a welcome cocktail, an appetizer, lunch, and the entrance to the private beach. Drinks will be an additional cost. The price will be USD$45 for children and will include the same items except replacing the cocktail with an NA drink and they will have a kids meal. Guests will be asked to send Cristina or Mike the cost of the excursion by July 5 if they would like to participate.

This private tour of the Walled City was booked with a professional tour company in Cartagena called Beyond Colombia. We have done their tours before and they are excellent. The tour will be in English. Please RSVP in advance so that we can plan for the number of people who will attend.
