Anybody in Cartagena right now?

Well 2 friends were supposed to be here too but canceled last minute. I'm here for another 8 days or so. I'll probably go to the beach but it would be nice to hang out with some locals. I'm not really into any crazy stuff but do love to meet people and learn about things. I'm fluent in Spanish and have traveled South America before. My cell number here is 301 479 0174. I have an apartment in laguito. It would be nice to find people around my age, late 20's to early 30's. I'll probably me ...

Need Cartagena Apartment 3/13 to 3/24/2008

Hello all, I'm gonna go back to hang out on the beach and need a unit ideally in Bocagrande or Laguito for March 13th to the 24th. Something reasonably priced around 100,000 per day would be great. I speak Spanish so you can forward my info to anybody local who has a place. Call US 805 689 9733 or email caymandm at yahoo dot com. I'm open to ideas. 2 years ago we stayed in a hotel and breakfast was included as $50US per night but I'd like something a little larger than a room. Also plan ...

I was a fool for a Colombiana

I´m not a monger or fat, balding stereptype who looks for a mail order bride.

After meeting many girls in Miami I happened across a Colombian web site and chatted with people a ...

Can anyone give me a comprehensive explanation of the estratos? I know it has to do with economic status but had an ex that said she lived in estrato 2 but had it all and took trips with the family. For being so low on the economic chain she lived well. Anybody care to clarify?? ...

Trip Report - Cartagena. January 2006

Trip report, Colombia, January 2006

I went to Cartagena but also visited Santa Marta and Baranquilla. I will list my experiences, thoughts and opinions from myself and my girl from Ocaña, Norte de Santander. I´ll list the prices paid as a general guide. I think we got good prices as we speak Spanish and my girl lives in Colombia. I let her do the negotiating as she is a good negotiator and we wanted the local prices. Hopefully it will give you an idea how much things cost f ...

Search: Hotels in Ctga

I'm arriving January 19 for 11 days in Cartagena with my girl from Cucuta. Most Hotels are 134,000 or so per night with breakfast.

Any suggestions as to which hotel? Also what is the best location. most are closest to the beach but what about nightlife? We checked at an agency but many wanted 240,000 or some insane figure per night and included everything. I want to get out and meet people from all over and try different clubs and not live at the hotel.

Any ...
