Current pricing for Cartagena:

Short Time: Budget $50-94, Mid $85-138, Premium $291+
Long Time/Overnight: $106-329
Massage with extras: $45-95

These are approximate ranges as of early 2026. Prices vary by area, provider quality, and negotiation. Tourist areas tend to be more expensive.

Tipping is not part of the culture here.

Best value: building a regular arrangement.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
