Cartagena de Indias Airport and Hotel Transfer Guide
Landing at Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) in Cartagena de Indias usually means stepping straight into a wall of Caribbean heat. After dealing with immigration and waiting by the baggage carousel, the last thing you want is to haggle with taxi drivers outside the terminal doors. I have touched down here more times than I can count, and having a pre-arranged ride waiting for you changes the entire arrival experience. The airport sits in the Crespo neighborhood, just north of the historic walled city and the high-rises of Bocagrande. Depending on traffic and your final destination, the drive into town takes anywhere from ten to thirty minutes. Navigating the ground transportation options requires knowing exactly what is available and how much you should pay.
