Other options for activities

​​​

  • Cooking Class

  • Rum Tasting

  • Street food tasting/bar-rooftop hopping  (Mid Afternoon- Sunset)​

  • Mud Volcano - Like 45 min from the city there is a "mud volcano", where you can bath. It is suppose to be good for your skin. It is not for everyone, but also a unique and fun experience.  This can be morning, or early afternoon. 

  • Anything else in mind? Let us know. We can make it happen. 

  • Check out our Cartagena guide for additional information

ESTIMATED COST

We can offer the above plan  with everything listed in the summary for about $22,900.  It is Important to highlight this is an estimate. Final cost would depend on final number of nights, available accommodations, number of guests, selected activities, etc.  Nevertheless, this number provides a good idea of what the trip could cost. 

​

  • With the above property, we can add up to 3 more guests (one per room) for a cost of $500 each. This estimate accounts for one person per room. We could add for the same amount:

    • And even 11 additional guests in the double beds

  • We can schedule more or less activities, change the ones we listed, and even create news ones upon request
