About

THE CITY IS THE VENUE. AN OPEN AIR MUSEUM Cartagena offers something the Caribbean has in only one place: a city that cannot be manufactured. A UNESCO World Heritage destination with the soul of a great metropolis and the intimacy of a small island — where history is the venue, culture is the program, and authenticity is the experience. Built over 500 years by the convergence of races, pirates, and European colonizers who left their mark on every stone, every color, and every corner, Cartagena is not a backdrop for events. Cartagena is the event. Every meeting, incentive, or corporate gathering held here becomes something entirely different from anything your group has experienced before — because no other destination in the world can offer this combination of history, intimacy, exclusivity, and Caribbean soul. A DESTINATION BUIT FOR HIGH-VALUE GROUPS. Cartagena is authentic in its history, intimate in its scale, exclusive without being cold, private without being inaccessible, and absolutely unforgettable. The high-value corporate traveler will not find this experience anywhere else — because it cannot be replicated, copied, or improvised. It is lived. And once it is lived, they come back. INFRASTRUCTURE THAT DELIVERS. — 4 convention centers serving groups of all sizes — World-class hotel portfolio: international 5-star brands, boutique colonial properties, and private island resorts — Unique venues: 17th-century colonial mansions, rooftop terraces, open-air fortresses, private Caribbean islands, and beachfront spaces — Award-winning gastronomy and immersive community experiences that no resort destination can match — Direct international air connectivity from major US and Latin American gateways PROVEN TRACK RECORD. Cartagena has ranked in the ICCA Top 10 for Latin America for over 15 consecutive years, making it the second non-capital city in the region for international events and Colombia's number one city for medical, scientific, and association congresses. In 2025, Cartagena received the CVENT Hometown Hero Award — recognition of its growing commitment and competitive positioning in the North American corporate meetings market. THE CARTAGENA EXPERIENCE Imagine your group having breakfast inside a 17th-century colonial mansion, spending the afternoon on a private Caribbean island with a sunset catamaran transfer, and ending the night at a chef's dinner under the stars in a UNESCO-listed historic district. That is not a special program. That is a Tuesday in Cartagena. The city is the venue. Events with Soul.
