Hookers run amuck here. The hustlers never leave you alone. And one thing stands out in this beachside city…. No other city in the world offers as much history right next to stunning beaches. When you add in the Cartagena girls. Those exotic women. Well, some people never leave. But hey, you care more about Cartagena women than Colonial conquests, right?
It gets super annoying to be pestered everytime you walk around during the day or lie down to get a tan.
But take solace in the fact that these people want you to be safe — safe and opening your wallet to buy stuff from them.
You will only come to physical harm if you get into an argument with a daytime hustler or a prostitute. Cartagena has the most black girls in all of Colombia. Even more than Cali, Colombia. The city was a slave port back in the day. Beyond skin tone — Cartagena is a city for guys who love big asses and thick hips. But honestly, the average in Cartagena is not as high as in other cities in Colombia. Something about that Caribbean air turns a few women into true beauties.
As such, there are only a few places to stay. Overall, Bocagrande is best for stays of a few days to a few months. You get more services and less hassle — which is huge in this part of the world. The presence of hookers all over Cartagena means that local girls feel the pressure to put out quickly, too. There are little games on the coast of Colombia. Tinder is popular in Cartagena, but infested with prostitutes.
