Cartagena is safe, but like in all places, it also depends on where you’re going, if you go to dangerous neighborhoods you probably will be in danger, more if you’re a foreigner, be careful with that girls. Places you shouldn’t go: Las 600, Los Mateos, Lo Campano. Be safe and write me if you need anything!! Xoxo

Cartagena is a city where you can feel very sure. It’a small city but you can do all activities as you want to do it, such as running, bicicling, climbing mountains. In addition, you can go to different beach like La Manga.
