    i’m from Cartagena working in tourism and i always advice against going to Baru by yourself, people are assholes in that island, they take advantage of tourists, your uber driver was the biggest asshole, i’m sorry you had that experience, next time take the hotel transport

      I couldn't find much info about going to Baru when I was looking at how to get there. BUT I'm glad to have made it safely. Thank you for watching and for your advice for next time!

    Im glad someone brings this up. Cartagena was a horrendous experience. The local black entitlement combined with pedophilic travelers is what is making up a big portion of the overall vibe

    Great video. I’ll be traveling there soon. I will definitely take your advice and pay for transportation through a hotel or whatever if possible. Glad you all are safe!

      If you're going to Getsemani though, it's pretty walkable and taxis from the airport are very reliable. Thanks so. much for watching! I hope you have a BLAST!

    I’m actually here now and definitely feel the hustle. To your point, the Afro Colombian are in large aren’t bad people and are just trying to make money. I’m planning my trip to the island for either Monday or Tuesday. Just not sure how I want to get there.

    how many days did you stay at isla baru? Do you think one night is enough to get a good experience?

    • @BereniceAchille
      @BereniceAchille  Місяць тому

      Only stayed one night. I think it was worth it, I wish we got there earlier in the day (which was the original plan). Two nights would have been better though to fully enjoy all the amenities.

    I just came back from CTG and my worst experience was with cab drivers and street vendors. Some drivers are just crazy and reckless. Vendors are like a bug infestation. They are everywhere pushing their stuff and don't let you enjoy your privacy

    • @BereniceAchille
      @BereniceAchille  5 місяців тому

      So true! I understand they're trying to make a living but it definitely gets to be a lot :/ ... Getsemani wasn't as bad though even though it was kinda touristy.

    Yes biggest turn off the begging and stuff was absolutely horrible and yes left a bad taste in my mouth. Dont think I'll ever go back.

    • @BereniceAchille
      @BereniceAchille  5 місяців тому +1

      It's really unfortunate. I think it's worth giving it another try with a different perspective BUT there are also so many other places to visit in the world that I see your point and understand the feeling.

    Wow! so sorry to hear of your experience. I'm glad you guys were ultimately able to make it safely and I hope you reported that driver to Uber and got your money back. He definitely should not have done that. I traveled to Baru a couple times but it was only to playa Blanca and I always used the beach club's (hotel's) transportation. I planned on taking an uber to the Botanical Garden in the near future, but this video is definitely making me reconsider that plan. Thanks for sharing!

    • @BereniceAchille

      Thanks for watching the vlog and for sharing your experience. I think you'll be ok if you take a regular taxi or a regular uber instead of the economical version. Ultimately I think that was the main problem :/

    • @oliviagilmore8125
      @oliviagilmore8125 3 місяці тому

      @@BereniceAchille no, I don't think that was the issue, and also going alone leaves the issue of finding a return driver if you're not paying them to wait for you. Riding with the beach club transportation was cool.

    • @BereniceAchille
      @BereniceAchille  3 місяці тому

      ah I understand! Good call with the hotel transportation. Getting service out there to call a ride would have been a nightmare. I'm glad it worked out!​@@oliviagilmore8125

    The music chosen for each part really enhances the storytelling👌🏾. That’s very scary, sorry that happened to you guys.

      We were soooo scared! I really think this captured that fear. I'm also trying to improve my storytelling so this comment made my day! thanks so much for watching!
