Cartagena with Kids: The Best Family Plans
Ideas to enjoy Cartagena as a family: calm beaches, tours with kids’ rates, and tips for traveling with little ones.
Cartagena is a wonderful destination for family travel. Between calm beaches, history, and outdoor plans, there are options to keep everyone happy, young and old.
For a hassle-free beach day, choose calm-water spots like Playa Tranquila in Barú, gentler than others. Many tours offer special kids' rates and family plans designed for all ages.
In the city, walking the walls at sunset, visiting the Castillo de San Felipe, and riding a horse-drawn carriage through the old town delight children. The Aquarium and Oceanarium in the Rosario Islands are another family classic.
Travel with sunscreen, hats, water, and light clothing. Plan outings in the morning to avoid midday heat, and book tours in advance to secure spots together.
