Cartagena Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

CARTAGENA: Colombia continues to amaze.... (click "Show all 20 thumbnails" above to see the fotos) Cartagena is a spectacular beach city preserved with colonial Spanish architecture. My brother Asif & I spent a fabulous 5 days here getting to the know the city and its magnificently friendly people. In sum, Colombia has firmly established its...

2 new class mates - both American - whose spoken Spanish is better than mine, but I'm holding my own on written grammar. The TEFL course was not wasted in that respect. However the only teaching I'm likely to get is as a volunteer in one of the barrios with abused street kids, and I don't think I'd be able to control them long enough to teach th...

This is a really a well preserved City dating from the 1533, with a real wall surrounding it, and beautiful architecture. Sadly the beach and the ocean are not what you would expect. Activities are not that many either, fairly much walk around the old town with its amazing churches and mainly the Castillo San Felipe , not to be missed, a fort wi...

I was up a little earlier today and went out on the verandah to read. We were due into Cartagena around 8:00 so I was surprised that there wasn't any land visible. Around 7:30 I went up to deck 10 to see if there was land on the other side of the ship. There wasn't any but, guess what....it was raining when I got up there. I went back down to th...

I am so glad to be leaving the smokey air of Gainesville. The other day ash was falling from the sky. We flew out of Miami to Cartagena, Colombia on Avianca. The flight was only about 2 hours and 30 minutes. I really didn´t expect it to be such a short trip over. It went by even faster because they served a meal on the flight. Pretty impressive ...

A leaden layer of humid haze hangs over Cartagena Des Indes, the air is thick with moisture and the pungent aromas of fried corn, salt and urine. The locals here live their lives on the street, old men sit around wooden tables playing cards while kids chase stray dogs and black teenagers taken straight out of an american ghetto flick sit around ...

Well, after spending a little too long in Cartagena, I have to say I have mixed feelings....... It really is quite a beautiful town, and has alot of appeal. There are alot of old buildings, theres a real sense of community in the town, and it has its very own soundtrack - Meringue (and Salsa, and other latin music, which all sounds the same to m...

Cartagena, Colombia - Looking at a road map of the Americas you might notice the Pan-American Highway, which effectively runs almost uninterrupted from Circle, Alaska (100 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle) to Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. In theory you could hop in their car for the mother of all road trips and dri...

Diana and I flew up to Cartagena. It was a beautiful city and reminded me a lot of St. Augustine. Diana booked an amazing hotel, Charleston Cartagen Hotel, that had been converted from a monastery from the 17th century so it was large and spacious. It was one of the only hotels located in the old city and so it was central to everything. The ho...
