Get a flight to Miami, then a roundtrip to CTG from there. Check Amer. Airlines site for "Netsavers Rates." One week in advance trips, right now the Miami to CTG roundtrip is $329.
American Airlines does not fly to Cartagena. Only Avianca.
Airfare:
Yeah Beavis is correct AA does not fly to Cartagena, they only fly to Bogota and Cali. From there it's another $115 - $200 on the average to fly from those cities to Cartagena.
Although I could of saved between $40 and $50 dollars booking online, I booked my airfare through an agent. I paid $634.00 for roundtrip air from Miami flying Avianca.
Here is the bummer though. Lowestfare.com has a posted fare from Delta nonstop for $533.00 via Miami. So I would recommend everybody to always check out Delta as well. Wish I did. The times are the same as the Avianca flight I'm taking so perhaps Delta is in partnership with Avianca.
Happy Hunting.
Regarding Delta & Avianca...they have what is called a "code share" agreement. Not really partners per se...but DL has block of seats on avianca routes. So yes, you can book Delta via Miami
to CTG, BOG, and Cali. All these flights from Miami carry a Delta flight number, but are operated by Avianca using their equipment.

Ok Fellow Inmates! I am a veteran of Panama City wars but am going to make my first visit to Colombia. I am going to the Cartagena Hilton from 12/17 until 12/22. Here are my questions:
1. How is this time of year for chica hunting?
2. Should I venture out to the beach and find Tony the Tout or hang around the Hilton pool in the day?
3. How are the clubs like Mr. Babillas, La Escollera, and Te Candela for semi and non-pros?
4. Does anyone want to hook up and go hunting?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Cowboy1.
There is a dude who lives in Ohio most of the year who when he isn't in Cartagena, he rents out his condo, which is located near the heart of the city. His website is http://www.cartagenacondos.com. He has some pretty decent prices. You can view the condo at his site.
All Cartagena Experts,
I need some information on Cartagena, I am interested in finding really hot Colombianos who are excellent in many ways. What is the p4p action look like and what about the non-working girls? If someone could give me a breakdown of the best pro-places with the hottest chicks and also with regular clubs with normal non-pros, It would be greatly appreciated. In return I can give you a breakdown of either Panama City, republic of Panama / Paris,France / South Florida-from west palm beach to Miami. Someone give me a thorough update, thanx.

Hi all, I'm new to this site.
I'll be in Cartagena from December 21-28. Can anyone recommend a condo with an ocean view for around $40-50 per night? Mark's condo is occupied for that time already. Or do you recommend I just look once I get there at 9pm?
If anyone's in town then, I make a pretty good wingman.

Hey guapo gringo: You are asking for trouble arriving over Xmas with no reservation. The person to book with is Mery, manager of Torre Centauro (3 buildings down from the Hilton and MUCH nicer than Conquistador or other Laguito rental buildings). You can email her through TSMtravel@aol.com (ask Bruce to forward the email to Mery). BOOK SOON!
Hey fellow inmates. I will be switching from the Panama Board to this one for the next couple of weeks. I will be arriving in Cartagena on Wednesday and will be leaving on Monday. I am hooking up with some TSMers on Wednesday and Thursday, and my Mexican buddy will be with me the rest of the trip. Thanks to all of the advice, I picked up a 2 BR apt. in Torree Centaura with Mery.
Since I have thoroughly enjoyed Colombianos in PTY, I am heading to the source. My plans are to go to La Dolce Vida, La Escollera, Tu Candeles, and Mr Babillas. I am also going to work the beach with the infamous Tony the tout!! I have 3 amigos.com girls set up and 2 dancers from PTY who will be in town to see their families. How will this all end up, stay tuned.
Any last advice form anyone? Surfe? Yeaa, I promise not to pay not a cent more than 30 for anything including a TLN. Cuidate mucho y portate bien.

Long time, First time. Heading to Cartagena over Xmas and New Year. Been here several times but never over the holidays. Anybody wants to hook up send me a private message. From my experience it is not that difficult to meet slightly above average women who will fall in love with you, but you have to be decent looking and willing to wine and dine your lady.
To meet the 9's and 10's is very difficult because they already have their rich Colombianos taking care of them.
Also in my experience, not that many vgl pros. I mainly go for the relaxed atmosphere, warm climate, good food, and the occasional amateur that comes your way.
Far better pro action in Costa Rica and Brazil.
Adios
Hey EZ,
I respect anyone's opinion ... but if you think Costa Rica is better for mongering than Cartegena or any part of Colombia ... we definitely DISAGREE.
Costa Rica is great for the guy who doesn't want to mix the potential danger aspect of Colombia with his mongering ... but Colombia absolutely blows away Costa Rica and the over-priced, largely egotistical chicas from the 'Gringo Gulch'.
Brazil, yes, is awesome but from what I hear it's turning into a "Puff Daddy" wannabe convention ... in Rio that is.
Every man has his opinion I guess ... take care.
Suerte!
I got to go with Ricker here. Been to Costa Rica 19 times and have spent almost 2 months in Cartagena since August. I was there during the Miss Colombia Pageant and never in my life have I seen so many beautiful girls. If you pick out the best looking girls in the Blue Marlin where are they from........................................................ Colombia. If you want a drink of water go to the head of the stream. Ray Charles could see that. The girls in Costa Rica are looking for their clothes as soon as she thinks you are ready to come. In Colombia you have to kick them out.
Costa Rica vs. Colombia not,
thats like fresh Lobster vs. Mrs. Pauls Fish sticks
