Visited Cartagena for 5 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $58/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would return.
AMA.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.
