Seafood here is absolutely divine—any spot recommended on Xiaohongshu is sure to deliver an unforgettable taste experience. Be sure not to miss Cande; it’s a standout!
The bird zoo is a must-visit! Stunning flamingos await, and you’ll have endless photo opportunities. One of the perks of traveling abroad is the peace and quiet—there weren’t many tourists around, so it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves.
You might want to skip Barú Island—it tends to get overcrowded, which can dampen the experience.
The old town is a gem that you simply can’t miss! Every corner is picturesque, though be prepared for scorching heat. Watching the sunset from the city walls is an absolute must, but it does feel just a little bit like being back in China, doesn’t it? 😅
In reality, two days are plenty to explore the highlights. On our third day, we decided to relax at the homestay and binge-watch Ultimate Challenge all day—a perfect way to unwind.
A trip to Cartagena might actually help you shed a few pounds—the heat is intense enough to melt away any worries! 🥺
