Embark on a seven-day adventure in Cartagena, where you'll be enveloped by its untouched beaches, rich history, and lively Caribbean charm. Your Cartagena experience is a tale of two halves. Start with a blissful escape on the shores of Baru, just a 45-minute boat journey from the city. This breathtaking island invites you with its powdery white and blush sands alongside clear azure waters. Allocate two days to unwind and soak up the serene Caribbean rhythm on Isla Baru.

Cartagena's rich cultural fabric is interwoven with Spanish, African, and indigenous influences, creating a dynamic cultural tapestry. A half-day walking tour will showcase why Cartagena is celebrated as a top Caribbean haven. Despite historical challenges like piracy, the Inquisition, and contemporary gentrification, Cartagena remains a treasured Colombian jewel. The Museum of Cartagena brings the city's saga to life as you meander its historic streets, fortifications, and the vibrant Getsemani neighborhood. Cartagena promises an array of unforgettable experiences. Contemplate a day trip to the idyllic Rosario Islands, a therapeutic mud bath at Totumo volcano, or an epicurean journey with a local cooking class. Your stay concludes with a lavish three-course meal at a renowned local restaurant.

TERMS & POLICIES

  • By accepting the Terms and Conditions, customers acknowledge their understanding of the booking process, payment requirements, cancellation policies, and other applicable rules and regulations. It is crucial to carefully review and comprehend these terms and conditions to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes down the line.

  • Utopian Paradise would like to emphasize that all payments made to our company are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable. Our business operates with contractual agreements with various suppliers, such as hotels, airlines, and other vendors, which do not allow us to secure refunds. This strict policy is implemented to keep our package prices affordable and enables our clients to make monthly vacation payments that suit their budgets.

  • It is the responsibility of passengers to ensure that they possess the necessary travel documents for their journey. To do so, passengers must consult with the relevant consulate(s) or visa agency to ascertain whether visas or passports are required for their trip. The validity of a passport for travel purposes must extend at least six months beyond the date of intended departure. In certain instances, countries may request a full blank page in a passport for stamping purposes. It should be noted that any information provided in the travel description exclusively pertains to US citizens. Non-US citizens are advised to contact the relevant consulate of the country or countries set to be visited to obtain up-to-date entry requirements.

    When making reservations, passengers are strongly urged to ensure that their full name is captured exactly as it appears on their passport. Adherence to this instruction may result in complications during check-in, leading to delays or even denied boarding. As such, we encourage all our passengers to do their best to handle any potential travel disruptions.

  • People often save up for months or years in advance when planning a vacation. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances can sometimes arise, potentially causing the need to cancel or interrupt a planned trip. This can lead to disappointment in missing out on a much-needed break and financial loss in the form of non-refundable deposits and fees. To address this concern, we highly recommend purchasing Travel Protection. This type of insurance can help cover various potential issues, including Trip Cancellation, Interruption, Baggage Loss or Delay, and Medical Expenses. In a covered situation, Travel Protection can help reimburse travelers for non-recoverable expenses, such as prepaid flights, hotels, rental cars, and activities. Travel Protection can also assist while traveling, such as emergency medical and travel assistance services. This can be especially beneficial if one experiences a medical emergency or other unforeseen situation while away from home. Depending on the policy chosen, Travel Protection can even offer coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, ensuring peace of mind for those with ongoing health concerns.
