Flight

JFK International Airport

JFK has the best flight options to Cartagena. Depending on which day you choose to travel, there are direct flight options from New York (which is roughly a 5 hour flight). We recommend Avianca, as they operate frequently in South America and we have used them before.

Flight

Expedia

Using Expedia and other travel websites allows you to see different options/prices for travel. Typically, there is a layover (direct flights are available), but we have never had an issue with a layover- and they are usually an hour- which is a nice break. Most layovers are either in Florida, or Bogota. As of late August, there are options starting at $330 per person, round-trip!

Travel Note

Uber

Uber is the best option for transportation once your plane has landed. Your app will work the same, just plug in the address of your destination/ accommodations.

Travel Note

Cartagena de Indias Airport (CTG)

Once you arrive at the airport, there is free WiFi for 30 minutes. If you are traveling with young children, you can skip the customs line and walk to the front (it does not matter how large your party is, if there is a young child you can all skip the line). Also, if you are a Colombian national, you can also skip the line. We advise to use the free WiFi to order the Uber!

Travel Note

USD Exchange Rate

The U.S. dollar is strong in Colombia, but it does change slightly (as with any currency). We recommend bringing some cash with you (it can be American), because you may want to buy things from vendors and some do not accept credit cards. However, all main venues and restaurants accept major credit cards. There are many exchange vendors across the city, that are legitimate and offer fair exchange rates. We have used the money exchange vendors many times. They will not accept money that is ripped in any way, however, so make sure it is in good condition!

House Or Rental

Airbnb

When searching for an AIRBNB please be sure that your stay is in "THE WALLED CITY," or "HISTORIC CENTER." Unless you prefer to be on the beach, but most events will take place inside the Walls. Our favorite area is called Getsemani! Which you can put in your search as: Getsemani, Cartagena, Cartagena Province, Bolivar, Colombia
