Although there is much to offer in Cartagena, Colombia it is important to stay vigilant. I was at a bar with my partner and pretty sure someone put something in my drink. I only had 2 beers at the bar and when I was walking home with my partner I could not keep my eyes open. I was literally falling asleep as we were walking home and I had never felt like this before. - and to happen for drinking 2 beers- nope! Usually it’s the women sex workers who drug men to take their money, etc but not always.

I wouldn't recommend walking alone at night in areas that are not very crowded. It is a well-known destination both nationally and internationally, so I would recommend booking in advance to ensure the best rates and availability for the activities you want to do.
