Q + A

Getting There! 

The easiest way to reach Cartagena is by flying into Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG), located just 15–20 minutes from the historic center and most hotels.There are direct flights from several major U.S. cities (including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, New York, and Atlanta), as well as convenient connections through Bogotá or Panama City. We recommend booking flights early, as Cartagena is a popular destination. When booking flights, we suggest exploring options beyond Avianca, as many travelers have recently experienced changes in service and comfort. We have found American Airlines and Copa Airlines to be reliable choices with convenient routes to Cartagena.

Getting from the airport

The airport is very close to the city, making arrival simple. Options include:Authorized airport taxis (available just outside arrivals with fixed rates)Ride-share apps like Uber or DiDiPre-arranged hotel transportation Typical travel time is about 15–25 minutes depending on traffic.

Where to stay

We recommend staying in one of the following areas, all convenient to wedding events: - Ciudad Amurallada (Historic Center): Colonial architecture, walkable streets, and walking distance from the wedding events. - Getsemaní: Vibrant, artistic neighborhood with great restaurants and nightlife. 5-10 minutes away from the wedding events.- Bocagrande: Beachfront hotels and modern amenities and casinos. 10-15 minutes away from the wedding events. - Manga: A quieter residential neighborhood just minutes from the Old Town — full of local charm and very close to the historic center. It also happens to be where Felipe grew up 🙂. 10-15 minutes away from the wedding events. - Morros area: oceanfront apartments and modern hotels with a quieter atmosphere. 20 minutes away from the wedding events. For larger families or groups, we recommend exploring house rentals on Airbnb or Vrbo in the Historic Center, Getsemaní, or apartments in Bocagrande, Morros or Manga. If you’re considering renting a house or apartment and are unsure about the location, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to help!

Things to Do

Optional Registry 

Welcome Party and Drinks: Tropical Semi-formal

Wedding Day: Tropical Formal

EN:All of our wedding events will take place outdoors during and after sunset in Cartagena. We expect warm temperatures between 25–31°C (77–88°F), with a gentle Caribbean breeze, so we encourage guests to plan their attire accordingly. Linen suits, light and breathable fabrics, and flowing dresses are highly recommended. Think elegant and heat-aware. For those wearing suits, ties are optional. To avoid overlapping with the grooms' colors, we kindly ask that you do not wear pale pink or royal blue. ES:Todos los eventos de nuestra boda serán al aire libre, durante y después del atardecer en Cartagena. Esperamos temperaturas cálidas entre 25–31°C (77–88°F), con una brisa caribeña agradable, así que les recomendamos vestirse pensando en el clima. Trajes de lino, telas ligeras y frescas, y vestidos fluidos son una excelente opción. La idea es verse elegantes, pero cómodos para el calor. Para quienes usen traje, la corbata es totalmente opcional. Para evitar coincidir con los colores de los novios, les pedimos por favor no vestir de rosado pálido ni azul rey.
