Hello does anyone know where to go fishing off a boat in Cartagena, Santa Marta or Barranquilla? My first time going to Colombia and am an avid fisherman. Is it possible to find out what gear I will need or if fishing companies in Colombia provide them, tackle shops? Alguen sabe donde pescar en Cartagena, Santa Marta o Barranquilla? Si necesito traer mi propias cosas pa pescar o si tienen tiendas de pescar en donde comprar/rentar. GRACIAS

Are there credible hostels in Cartagena that, for the budget traveler is worth while? Or should I spend an extra20 a night for a hotel? Also, Im in California and not sure if its better to keep the itinerary open and not reserve a room until Im in Cartagena. June 20th is the expected date of arrival in Cartagena. Should I just walkin with my girlfriend and hope there is room available??? Thanks for now.

My travel buddy just announced she will not be able to make her trip so i will be in Cartagena alone on May 25 -28. I will be visiting my family in Medellin and then flying to Cartagena since the flight back to LA departs from there. I wanted to see if there were any travelers i could connect with here that might be there during those days...you just never know. I would love to go snorkeling to las islas del rosario and spend a day there, and have some company to go dancing. I am originally from Medellin, but i live in Los Angeles... Good company makes travelling so much more fun and interesting! Estare en Medellin la semana que viene para visitar a mi familia, pero ahora mi amiga me acaba de informar que no me podra acompanar a Cartagena - Estare en Cartagena el 25 de Mayo hasta el 28 - Alguien estara alli durante esos dias?? Que rico tener compania para ir a las islas del rosario, o para ir a bailar.??? Angelica

Anyone have info about catching a ride on a cargo ship from Panama to Cartagena? Muchas gracias!

I'm thinking about heading to Cartagena in Jan 2007 for a month or 2, does anyone have any info regarding apartment rentals there: prices, quality, websites, etc. Doesn't seem to be too much action here on VT, Cartagena, but any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have been on various websites collecting info on cartagena. I am thinking of retiring and living there permanently. I love the weather, and the diversiness of the people and its history of the country. I am planning to visit this summer, and would like to know the best month to visit, when is high season for tourists. I will be traveling alone, are there recommended hotels to stay away from, and parts of the city as well. In regards to retiring to colombia, are there any other cities recommended for an 45 yr old single retiree. Fact or Myth, are the colombian women as bueatiful as I have been hearing, and do they care for american men-me african-america? thanks for any advice and recommendations.
