      Medellin was indeed beautiful. I would love to get closer to the culture of the city next time.

    I only have 7 days in Columbia and I fly into Medellin. I am really debating on just staying the entire time in Medellin and not worrying about Cartagena at all. I have traveled a lot like Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, etc in central and I keep hearing that if I’ve been there then Cartagena is so much the same that Medellin is a different experience.
    Would you suggest I go to Cartagena at all? I don’t like the things I keep hearing about pestering and all the scams. I really just want to relax

      Cartagena was still a beautiful city, but I could see how it would be similar to a major Central American city. Honestly, the only way I could see your stay being relaxing is if you got a chartered boat to go to one of the islands off the coast - or maybe at a high-end hotel in the Boca Grande neighborhood.
      Otherwise, I think you'd have a much more relaxing time in Medellin. Even in busy, tourist heavy El Poblado, there were areas where you could find a quiet spot to enjoy people watching.

    I liked your video but I must say that Cartagena has a lot of beautiful beaches, just not near downtown or the buildings area. Google "Islas del Rosario" or "Baru - cartagena". Those beaches are part of Cartagena and are a few minutes away by boat, there's even a beach called "Cholon" where they have parties every day, you missed them.

      I clearly missed out on those beaches. I have heard some people say they have a great time there!

    How much was the flight from Cartagena to Medellin? & how long was the flight

    • @mmersive
      @mmersive  5 місяців тому +1

      We paid just over $100 for the one-way. The flight from CTG to MDE was roughly an hour.

    I think I am going to skip Cartagena. I hate humidity and being pestered. I love nice beaches with white sand with turquoise waters and it sounds like Cartagena is not it!

      Yeah, Medellin is probably more your vibe haha.
