Cartagena – Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Cartagena

Set within a former convent in Cartagena’s historic walled city, Sofitel Legend Santa Clara combines colonial architecture, elegant courtyards, and contemporary five-star service.

More than simply a place to stay, the hotel becomes part of the Cartagena experience itself, providing an atmospheric base from which to explore the city.

Barú – Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort

A contemporary beachfront resort surrounded by the Caribbean landscapes of Barú.

With direct access to the sea, multiple pools, restaurants, wellness facilities, and spacious tropical surroundings, the hotel is particularly well suited to travelers looking to combine sophisticated accommodation with several days of genuine downtime.

Day 1: Arrival in Cartagena – A Legendary Welcome

Arrival at Cartagena International Airport, where your private driver will welcome you and transfer you to Sofitel Legend Santa Clara, located within the historic walled city.

After check-in, take some time to settle in and discover the hotel’s courtyards and historic architecture.

In the evening, begin your Caribbean journey with a curated Colombian rum tasting, exploring the aromas, production traditions, and flavors behind one of the region’s most emblematic spirits.

The remainder of the evening is at leisure.

Overnight: Cartagena – Sofitel Legend Santa Clara

Day 2: Private Cartagena – History, Architecture & Caribbean Lifestyle

Discover Cartagena through a privately guided experience focused on the city’s history, architecture, and contemporary Caribbean character.

Explore the plazas, churches, colonial houses, and colorful streets of the historic center while your guide brings together stories of trade, piracy, colonial power, independence, and the cultural influences that shaped Cartagena.

Rather than trying to cover every attraction, the experience is deliberately flexible, allowing time to enter selected historic sites, pause for refreshments, and discover some of the quieter corners of the old city.

Return to the Sofitel in the afternoon.

The remainder of the day is free to enjoy the hotel, arrange an additional spa treatment, explore the boutiques of the historic center, or discover Cartagena’s vibrant gastronomic scene.

Overnight: Cartagena – Sofitel Legend Santa Clara

Day 3: The Rosario Islands by Private Yacht

Today, leave Cartagena behind and discover the Caribbean from the water.

Transfer to the marina and board a private yacht reserved exclusively for your group.

Cruise toward the Rosario Islands, an archipelago of tropical islands, coral landscapes, and crystal-clear Caribbean waters southwest of Cartagena.

The exact route can be adapted according to sea conditions and the group’s interests, combining time for swimming, relaxing on board, and discovering selected island locations.

The freedom of private navigation allows you to set your own pace: stay longer where you like, move on when you are ready, and simply enjoy being at sea without following the fixed schedule of a shared excursion.

Return to Cartagena in the afternoon.

Overnight: Cartagena – Sofitel Legend Santa Clara

Day 4: Cartagena – National Aviary – Barú

After breakfast, check out and leave Cartagena by private vehicle toward Barú.

Along the way, visit the National Aviary of Colombia, where habitats inspired by the country’s different ecosystems provide an impressive introduction to Colombia’s extraordinary bird diversity.

Afterwards, continue to Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort.

Check in and enjoy the remainder of the afternoon at leisure.

From this point onward, the pace of the itinerary becomes intentionally slower.

Overnight: Barú – Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort

Enjoy a long breakfast, spend time on the beach, relax by one of the pools, or explore the resort’s restaurants and wellness facilities.

Additional spa treatments or private experiences can be arranged upon request.

Otherwise, today is dedicated to something increasingly valuable when traveling: time with no agenda.

Overnight: Barú – Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort

Day 6: Barú – Your Day, Your Pace
