Taxi at Cartagena port

[Dejlig Ko]

Are taxi's readily available at the port in Cartagena? None of us speak Spanish.

Thanks CruiserBruce. I have perused that forum, since some Panama Canal Cruises stop at Cartagena I thought I'd ask here.

No problem getting a taxi there pre-pandemic.  Can't speak to right now.   You might want to write your destination down for the driver.  And have a few polite Spanish phrases ready.  🙂

After enjoying this past October the wonderful port with it's birds and animal displays at Cartagena we opted to go to the walled city on our own.

 

Taxi's were lined up (they speak English) and were dropped just near the main large walkway that leads to the walled city.

 

We enjoyed our time there very much and when we were ready to go back to the ship it was just as easy once we walked back to where we had been dropped off to get another taxi.

 

Cartagena was very easy to DIY and we're looking forward again to do this during our port stop next March 2024.
