Activities to do
A car rental is your best way of getting around, plus you conveniently skip the hassle of catcalling taxis or haggling for cab prices. A private vehicle also ensures whatever you carry is locked tight in the car when you park and head off to explore some tourist spots.
- Fun at the Beach - the beauty of the Caribbean beach us unrivaled and if it’s not Scuba Diving in San Andres then Boca Grande should be your immediate choice. The wild waters of the coastline not only provide multiple water activities, but it is also a serene backdrop giving life to the Old City nearby.
- The Old City - now because the Columbian weather isn’t all too friendly, it is a good idea to visit the Old City early in the morning or late in the evening. You can drive your Cartagena Airport car rental through the streets as you admire the great architecture preserved over the years. You will marvel at the archaic churches too, and generally the sense of charm that flows through the air.
- Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas - in your quest for tourist attractions in town, don’t miss out on this Castle. The Castle fort that was once a protection line for the city is still as sturdy as it was before. There are tunnels inside the castle where probably minerals used to be transported; you can explore those as well.
- Bathe in Volcano - just outside the old city and about an hour’s drive from the city is Totumo volcano. Volcanic activity is long gone and the area is now used as a public mud bath. This is a popular activity among the Cartagena locals and you should try it as well.
You can exhaust several other attractions before taking your flight back home at Cartagena airport. Make sure your car rental is regularly checked during your stay or if the leasing company will do that for you, the better.
