How to survive with $50,000 cop per day in Cartagena

We are approaching of the holiday and we have a problem "on hand", we will not receive the "snack" fee, therefore we do not have much to save if we are thinking to travel during the holidays.

If we call our best friend, for sure he will have plan with the cousins ​​and goes out of the country during the holiday season. If I talk to my parents, they will tell me that we have to pay the new car fee, the house tax, the taxes have gone up, your college career costs a lot, think about your brother who goes to college next year and the same issues always.

Between discussion and dialogue, we got to have a bit of money to do something on vacation and right, the most disorderly of our friends, called us to tell us that he's planning to go to "la fantástica" Cartagena de Indias.



Now is time to organize, take accounts, add and subtract and choose where we will stay 1 week in Cartagena.

Now, I give you the 5 tips on how to survive with $ 50,000 a day in the famed Cartagena de Indias:

1. FORBIDDEN TRIPS ON WEEKENDS. Try not to travel on the weekends or long weekend where you will find everything expensive. If you are on vacation, travel from Monday to wednesday and then you will tell me.
2. WHERE TO STAY. Stay in a hostel. In the area of ​​Getsemani or downtown you can find hostels at $ 29,000 per night. You share room and it is the best plan to make social life with travelers.
3. WHERE TO EAT. In Cartagena, the fried or "fritos as we know it" are the most sought and delights by tourists, not only for its Caribbean flavor but also for its low price. Between $ 800 and $ 2000 you can be satisfied for dinner or breakfast.
4. DO NOT COMPLICATE YOURSELF. Many hostels have on the first floor a kitchenette where you can cook some eggs or a more elaborate dish. Always think about saving and leaving for the evening beers.
5. ECONOMIC FUN. In Cartagena you can find many places where rumba is cheap or free. The hostels make rumbas at nights and only spend the value of a beer or if you prefer a salsa bar, save on your costs of the week and spend on Friday a $ 30,000 cover to enjoy the city with the sounds of the heroic.

Yes, you can travel and enjoy low costs:



We meet people at hostels, surely our next travel friends.

We enjoy the real traditions and Caribbean cuisine of the city

We learn to enjoy on a limited budget

We learn to deal with the unexpected

We learn to simplify our life

And prejudices, leave them at home

It is then when you realize that you will take many photos of tourist sites, emblematic scenarios, ocean, beach and then when reviewing the photos, you will see that the smile of a child, will be the best photo you take.
