  • 3The local currency is Colombian Peso (COP). Carry some cash for small vendors and markets.
  • 4A few words in Spanish go a long way with locals. Even "please" and "thank you" will earn smiles.
  • 5Download offline maps and translation apps before your trip. WiFi can be spotty in historic areas.

Must-Try Essen in Cartagena

Arepa de Huevo (fried corn cake with an egg inside)
