You probably won't need a visa and should be good for 90 days, but please double-check: https://www.cancilleria.gov.co/sites/default/files/FOTOS2024/ENTRY%20TO%20COLOMBIA%20AND%20COURTESY%20VISA%20INFORMATION.pdf

During the three days, there is still some time to explore Cartagena on your own. On Wednesday, we look forward to welcoming you in the evening. Thursday only until noon. On Friday, the morning is all yours, but the hangover may also take up your Saturday (morning).

Cartagena typically experiences warm and humid weather during this period with temperatures ranging between 25 to 32 degrees Celsius. It is usually the dry season in Cartagena during this time, and while evenings may cool down, it will generally remain warm.

Light breathable clothing: bring your shorts, shirts & skirts. Sunscreen is highly recommended for blanquitos. DON'T FORGET YOUR BEAUTIFUL WEDDING ATTIRES

Yes, bring your universal electricity plug; Colombia uses Type A with 110V (please be careful with your 230V hair dryer or groomer). Yes, you can use your normal phone chargers. A power bank may come in handy.

Cartagena is generally considered one of the safer cities in Colombia for tourists, including solo female travelers. The city has made a significant effort to improve security over the past decade, particularly in tourist-frequented areas. In Colombia, they say, 'Don’t give papaya,' meaning 'don’t let yourself be taken advantage of.' As long as you’re careful, you’ll be fine—because, as the saying goes, 'papaya given is papaya taken.' We recommend minimizing the use of jewelry or any other expensive accessories.

We personally prefer Medellín over Bogotá when it comes to major cities. It has a vibrant atmosphere, great gastronomic experiences for foodies, and, most of all, beautiful blue skies nestled within the mountains, along with a rich history of Colombia. If you're more of a beachbum, consider San Andrés, an island near Panama that is part of Colombia. If you don't like to fly or have limited time, Santa Marta is another option, or you can head to Isla Barú, which is just over an hour away from Cartagena. If you have more time and feel like being adventurous, the Tatacoa Desert or the Amazon Rainforest (Leticia) will certainly provide an unforgettable experience in the heart of nature.

Kids are certainly welcome throughout the program; however, Friday evening from 6 p.m. onwards will be adults-only. Please let us know in advance if you plan to bring children, as we can connect you with nanny services in Cartagena. You can expect friendly, Spanish/English-speaking nannies.

If you have any specific questions about the wedding or whether there is room for a speech or anything else, please contact our friend and Ceremony Master; Mark Duppen (+31 6 28 57 17 37).

A variety of options will be shared later to choose from, meat, fish and vegetarian/vegan options will be available. If you have any specific dietary requirements, please make them known to the Ceremony Master.

During the wedding day we will be both inside and outside, the dinner and fiesta are in very close proximity to the Cathedral, high heels were considered carefully, go for it! After the toast to love there is time for refreshing and changing if desired.
