Cartagena on a Long Weekend from Bogotá (Spanish guide)
Updated: October 3, 2026 · This page is written in Spanish for travellers flying in from Bogotá. Colombia has twelve long weekends ("puentes") in 2027; the ones that matter most for Cartagena are New Year (January 1-3), Epiphany (January 9-11), Holy Week (March 25-28), mid-year school holidays in July and August, and Cartagena Independence (November 13-15), when the city fills for its own festivities.
The figures are the same as everywhere on this site, charged per unit and with no agency fee: a staffed colonial house inside the walls for up to 16 from 600 USD a night, a full boat day from 850 USD (36-40 ft, up to about 12 people), and a local host from 200 USD a day. High-season houses at the top of the market run 2,300-8,000 USD a night and are quoted by name. CABÚ Viajes is a local operator in Cartagena, RNT 215668.
