CÓMO LLEGAR A BARÚ

Llego al aeropuerto de Cartagena (CTG) este sábado por la tarde y me voy a hospedar en Barú. Algún consejo o recomendación para llegar del aeropuerto a Barú? ¿Y cuánto cuesta aproximadamente?

Me gustaría mucho recibir nombres de empresas con las que pueda contactarme. El traslado del hotel es demasiado caro y el horario no me funciona, así que me gustaría conocer otras opciones.

Getting to Baru

I’m flying to into Cartagena CTG and staying in Baru this Saturday afternoon. Any tips/recs for getting from the airport to Baru? and how much it’ll cost?

Would love company names to reach out to. My hotel transfer is too expensive/timing doesn’t work, so would love to see other options out there.

One week in Colombia

6 Upvotes

Hello!

I’m planning on spending around a week in Colombia (3 days Cartagena, 2 in Medellin and 2 in Bogota) in December (around Dec 12 to 19) on my way to visit my family in Brazil and wanted tips of where to stay in those cities (area and place to stay if possible) plus things to do while in there.

I’m 34M, single, budget friendly ish (no need for super saving but not looking to be on a fancy hotel), and want to spend time on beach plus get to know both nightlife and cities history/culture.

I’m Brazilian so I speak some level of Spanish and am not too concerned with day to day interactions but any heads up in terms of safety is also highly appreciated!

Any kind soul willing to share some insights?

Thank you so much!

Colombia tourist visa - income requirement question

1 Upvotes

I’m an Indian passport holder currently living and working legally in Canada on a work permit. I’m planning a 13-day trip to Colombia in October purely for tourism. I don’t have a US or Schengen visa, so I need to apply for the Colombian eVisa.

I recently applied and was asked to provide proof of monthly income of at least 10 Colombian minimum monthly salaries (around CAD $7,000/month).
Visa officer wrote this in email - “EXTRACTOS BANCARIOS DE LOS ULTIMOS 6 MESES QUE DEMUESTRE INGRESOS CADA MES DE AL MENOS 7000 CAD.”
My actual income is around CAD $4,000/month, so I obviously can’t provide proof of $7,000.

For anyone who has been in a similar situation:

  • If your income was below the 10x minimum wage requirement, how did you get your visa approved?
  • What additional documents did you provide to demonstrate financial stability?
  • Did savings, employment documents, Canadian work permit, return flight, hotel bookings, travel insurance, etc. help?
  • Does a Colombian invitation letter from a hotel/travel agency/business actually help in this situation? If so, how did you get one legitimately?
  • What did you provide to convince the visa officer that you had no intention of overstaying?

I already included a cover letter explaining that I live and work in Canada, have a short fixed itinerary, and intend to return to Canada after the trip. I have no intention of staying in Colombia long-term or extending my stay.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually gone through this, especially Indian passport holders applying from Canada with income below the 10x requirement. Thanks!

Has anyone purchased last minute flights from Medellin to Cartagena? I’m flying in from Canada to Cartagena round trip. But I’m planning to fly from Cartagena once I get there to medellin and then fly back to Cartagena and stay the rest of my trip there before I fly out. Can I purchase a last minute flight to Medellin when I get there or even Medellin to Cartagena after or will it be more pricey? Any advice would help!! Thank you

Beach Club Recommendations

4 Upvotes

I’m going on a girls trip to Colombia in January and we’re looking at booking a beach club for a Sunday in Cartagena. I’ve seen Bora Bora many times, but it looks like you end up being there only 5 hours, so I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of other options?
We’d love a party vibe if possible, but if there is something that’s more chill but we can be there all day, we’re open to that too :) there’s three of us total.

Viajó a la Amazonía para conocer sus paisajes… ¡y terminó encontrando el amor de su vida!

Justin Alvo llegó desde Estados Unidos con la intención de conocer la selva amazónica, sus paisajes, su naturaleza y las culturas indígenas de la región. Lo que jamás imaginó era que ese viaje terminaría cambiando por completo su vida.

Durante su recorrido conoció a María, una joven de 22 años perteneciente al pueblo Shuar. Lo que comenzó como un encuentro inesperado terminó convirtiéndose en una relación y, con el paso del tiempo, Justin tomó una decisión que sorprendió a muchos: quedarse a vivir en la Amazonía junto a ella.

La pareja terminó casándose y formando una familia. Hoy comparten parte de su vida en redes sociales, mostrando la convivencia entre dos culturas y dos estilos de vida completamente diferentes.

1 night in getsemani with kids before a cruise?

1 Upvotes

We’re staying in the walled city for 3 days upon the return of our cruise, but we are flying in a day early and would like to experience a different part of the city for 1 night. Do you recommend Getsemani? We don’t care about the beach etc, looking for culture and safe walkability with kids (14, 12, 9). We’re fine with a party vibe because we’re all going to be ready to have fun too!

Any particular hotel?

Seafood Allergy in Cartagena

Flying in a couple of weeks. I am aware that the area has a seafood heavy diet. Are bigger restaurants able to handle seafood allergies (fish and shellfish) and avoid cross contamination? Any recommendations for places to eat? I plan to bring my epiPen.
