Overview
Cartagena is Colombia's crown jewel -- a UNESCO World Heritage walled city where colorful colonial architecture, vibrant street life, and Caribbean beaches converge. The Old City's cobblestone streets, bougainvillea-draped balconies, and centuries-old fortresses create one of the most photogenic destinations in the Americas.
For points travelers, Cartagena offers one of the best CPP values anywhere. The Hyatt Regency Cartagena books at just 12,000 Hyatt points per night for a property that regularly commands $200+ in cash -- an extraordinary value that makes this a top Chase UR redemption. The Conrad Cartagena provides a luxury beach resort alternative through Hilton.
Beyond the stunning Walled City, Cartagena is a gateway to the Rosario Islands (pristine beaches and snorkeling), world-class food tours through Bazurto Market, and a nightlife scene that pulses until dawn. The combination of history, culture, beach access, and incredible points value makes Cartagena a must-visit for savvy travelers.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Cartagena range from $107 to $578.55 per night. Points redemptions offer 1.67+ cents per point value.
