About your trip

Colorful Cartagena, Colombia!!!  


Colombia is the only country in South America that has coastlines on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.  Cartagena’s history dates back to the 16th century and is known for its colonial architecture , beautiful and diverse landscapes, delicious coffee and rich cultural mix that makes the country's foods, music, dance, and art diverse and unique.


Cartagena is one of Colombia's safest cities with an average temperature is 80+ degrees which is great for us to spend lots of time in the pristine waters of the beautiful beach, take a healing mud bath at a natural volcano called "The Fountain of Youth", enjoy local street food and maybe even see the Pink Sea which is only available for viewing at certain times of the year. 


We have curated a special time for that includes dancing, beach party, exploring and relaxing.  


If you always wanted to visit Colombia, THIS TRIP IS FOR YOU!!!
