INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Several major airlines such as Latam, Delta, American Airlines, United, Aeroméxico, Copa Airlines, and Avianca offer direct flights to Rafael Núñez International Airport in Cartagena, on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. The best way to get from the airport to the walled city is by taxi or Uber. The ride takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Authorized taxis are available 24 hours a day and operate with fixed fares, paid in cash: around 14,000 COP to Getsemaní, up to 18,000 COP to the hotel area in the historic center (Walled City), and approximately 30,000 COP to Bocagrande. In general, 1 USD equals about 4,100 COP. Since taxis do not always accept card payments, Uber is often a more convenient alternative.

WEATHER

December in Cartagena offers warm and sunny days, with temperatures around 31 °C (88 °F) and pleasant evenings of about 26 °C (79 °F). Rainfall is minimal during this season, and the sea remains a delightful 27–28 °C (81–82 °F), perfect for enjoying both the city and the beach.

We recommend packing light and breathable clothing for exploring the city during the day, along with a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the Caribbean sun. For events, light and elegant fabrics will be the best choice. Staying hydrated is essential in this warm climate, and for evenings outdoors, it may be comfortable to bring an additional light layer.

Hotels

We welcome you to stay at any of the beautiful hotels or colonial homes in Cartagena has to offer. The bride and groom will be staying at the SOFITEL LEGEND SANTA CLARA HOTEL for the guests who would like to join them.
