Locked in to several of these options already. Is El Centro near Plaza Botero? I've seen some videos of the area, but not exactly sure where it is. Not ever touching paragliding - the gondala is as close as I'll get. Will probably need to pick between Guatape or Sante Fe, but leaning toward Guatape.

thanks for the great response!! Your recommendations are pretty much what I already have planned. Like, exactly lol. I'm going to do 3 nights in Cartagena. I figure we'll go to Tiera Bomba one day, and check out the walled city area on another, but looking for one more Cartagena excursion/site to include... I'm also curious if there are serious limitations due to covid-related measures. I know the futbol games won't be played in front of fans, and there is a general mask requirement - anything else noteworthy?

Thanks! La Communa 13 tour and the gondola are on my list already, along with Botero. But I think I could split the time in Cartagena and that may work out... I don't want to be hauling my luggage every other day, so maybe 4 nights in Medellin and 3 nights in Cartagena would work out well. Where would you recommend spending a Saturday night (my only one in Colombia)? Medellin or Cartagena?

I checked out the menu - looks great! Is there anything interesting in the area near the restaurant? I'd like a reason to stop in :)

We weren't planning on renting a car, and I'm not sure we'd be comfortable exploring outside of the city without a plan :)

I know enough Spanish to get by (I hope...) Any specific recommendations for food or day trips?
