Climate and Clothing

Temperature: Cartagena is warm and humid, with temperatures ranging from 28-32°C during the day.

Protection: Use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a cap or hat if you will be outdoors.

Security

Safe Areas: The hotel is in a safe tourist area, but avoid walking alone on less-traveled streets at night.
Transportation: Use trusted taxis (requested from the hotel) or apps like Uber instead of hailing taxis on the street.
Personal Belongings: Keep your belongings secured in crowded places and only carry what is necessary.

Areas to stay:

Hotel Beaches: Take advantage of the fact that Hotel Las Américas has direct access to the beach and exclusive areas to relax after the conference.

Local Food: Try typical dishes such as coconut rice, fried fish, and arepas de huevo at nearby restaurants.

Historic District: If you have free time, visit the Historic Center and the Walled City, which are about 15-20 minutes away by taxi.
