El Laguito

El Laguito's Caribbean paradise stretches along a scenic peninsula with beaches on both sides. Morning strolls along the palm-lined promenades let you soak up panoramic ocean views while the lagoon offers peaceful paddleboarding. Sunset cocktails taste better when paired with the pink and orange sky, especially from the high-rise hotel bars that line the waterfront. Hotels range from mid-range to ultra-luxury with pools and private beach access. Beachfront restaurants serve fresh ceviche and international cuisine, though prices run higher than in city centre Cartagena. The area is wonderfully walkable, with taxis readily available for the quick 15-minute trip to Old Town.

Cartagena and related destinations

Wander through a walled colonial city where Caribbean breezes carry salsa music across plazas filled with fruit vendors in impossibly bright dresses. The Clock Tower marks your entrance to the old city, where balconies drip with bougainvillea above streets that seem designed for getting pleasantly lost. Palace of the Inquisition offers history with a macabre twist – torture devices displayed in a building beautiful enough to make you forget their purpose. Escape the afternoon heat at Teatro Heredia, a jewel box of a theatre where performances feel intimate despite the grandeur. When the cobblestones get too hot, retreat to Bocagrande Beach or visit the National Aviary to witness Colombia's extraordinary bird diversity up close.
