Hi I Live Here In Colombia So I Can Help With Any Question

[MMDown Under]

You can't beat local knowledge, so thanks for your offer to help.

 

What would you recommend for an active retired couple to do during a brief visit (7.00am to 6.00pm) to Cartagena, Colombia in December?

Our ship docks in Santa Marta on March 5 from 7:00am-5:00pm. We'd like to take a cab to a town close by with a beach and a place to snorkel. Two suggestions have been Taganga or El Rodadero. Which would be a pleasant place to spend the day? About how much should a cab cost? Do you negotiate with cab drivers in Columbia?

Well Lets See In Cartagena I Love To Go To The Old City Were The Forts Are Have A Carriage Ride Around It. Go To Las Bovedas(it Was Jail Long Long Time Ago) Now They Are Artesanals Shops...it Depends On What You Want For Lunch In The Old City There Are Lots Of Ecxellents Places Sea Food, Sushi And My Favorite I Had Always Said Is Nena Lela Italian Food Excellent Place Can´t Go Wrong ,ask For The Isla Del Rosario Risotto(seafood With A Mix Of Cocount) Yummie... Aoher Placed To Visit Is La Popa Is A Taxi Ride It Just To Be An Old Monastery The View There Is The Best!!!!

I Don´t Know If You Want Go To The Beach Thats Another Story Let Me Know

Hi About Santa Marta Taganga Has Better Beach That Rodadero Water Is Nicer!! I Think S Marta Has The Same Policy As My City And Hey All Ready Have Establish Rates For The Taxi But Bargaing Never Hurts Anywhere

we will be on the coral princess from florida april 24th. We signed up to go on a prirate ship that cruises the harbor. I will be with my husband and 8yr son. It looks like the pirate ship is a little walk from the coral. Will there be street venders along the way? Do you have any advice about walking there?

 

thanks in advance:D

We will be in Cartagena on April 1st.

 

There are 4 of us......50-60 Unfortunately, I am the only water person, so no beach excursions for us.

 

What would you suggest?? Are there good tour guides?? What about ATV rentals. Is that an option??

An ATV is an 4 wheeled jeep type vehicle. All Terran Vehicle. We rented these in St Maarten last year and had a blast going around the island.

 

I guess I am just trying to find something for us to do that is not the same ole stuff

Did not see any ATV rentals anywhere around the walled city or the castillo. In any event, Cartagena did not strike me as the kind of place where you can go ATV'ing.
