As a person who was born and raised in Cartagena I could add two more tourist alerts: 1) always ask for the price of the things you're buying before accepting them, usually the cost of souvenirs, food, jewelry, pictures with palanqueras, etc. Changes by your accent, so please always ask for it in advance. 2) always be aware of your belongings, Cartagena is beautiful and yet, it's one of the cities that has the highest number of poverty in Colombia, therefore robbers are always attentive to any opportunities they may have, they usually don't mess with tourists, but still, just be attentive. I hope it helps!

Same rules for Dominican Republic, same scams also. And in DR they usually not messing with Tourists because they get problem with cops, just because DR lives from tourists. But if you do get in problems, cops will also want some money to help you.

The Palenque ladies deserve that money. Tourist will just snap pictures of them as if they are tourist attractions and not people on their jobs. That part saying "they're not from here." Now that was strange like they don't belong. They are Colombians that commute to work like many do. As for the street rappers, the ones I briefly encounter were pretty nice guys. I called them over and they were entertaining.

Great video Sarah! Reminds me of the carnival cruise me and my wife took to the Dominican Republic. We took a tour provided by Outback Adventures that was great BUT one part of the tour was some time at a "hidden beach" well the whole time we where at the beach there was there guys with suitcases full of expensive trinkets. They actually stood in knee high water following everyone around. And when you came back to shore they followed and hounded us while we changed. My inner New Yorker took over and we totally ignored them. What's the best is i saw a car there that I can swore I saw at some other stops during the tour so they were following our open air tour bus!

They were charging me and my husband more money than I would have paid for a professional massage in a spa. I had to call the police for them to go away. Be aware people!

A good video about Cartagena. In terms of people insisting on you giving them money if you get trapped like this remember what people earn in Colombia. The minimum wage which more than 50% earn, or earn less than, is about $250. So that (Many Colombians work 6 day weeks) is $10 a day. Thats just over $1 an hour (COP 4,000). So if someone spends 10 minutes doing something and then demands payment do not pay a lot. The city authorities are getting embarrassed by these scams so threats to get payment will go nowhere.

@truebrit3578
@truebrit3578 Жыл бұрын
@@paulg6274 where do I say it is not a scam. My point is that if people feel like giving money remember the value of it in Colombia. Give a young man $20 for singing a five minute rap,song and you have just paid him what a real worker gets in two days. Tourists, particularly Americans pay way too much. I have seen tourists paying professional photographers $900 for a mornings work for some photos for their facebook accounts. Thats more than what a junior doctor earns in a month in Colombia and a multiple of what a local would pay. And as I say if they get pushy about being paid the local authorities have little time for this nonsense these days. And why does this happen in Cartagena? Because it is the only city in Colombia where two nights accommodation at one of the boutique hotels is about what a Colombian makes in 6 months. One tourist can give a woman with fruit on their head more than a teacher makes in a day.

The guys that sell bracelets and cigars also pick pocket u I had a small amount of money taken and I was being very on point. Don't let them within 2-3 ft of u or just say 6 ft for covid. Get small bills and if they say it's something there selling costs 20 mil say 10 mil or nothing

I absolutely love Cartagena and I will also add the fake Cuban Cigars. My Local friends warned me they are not real. Just be careful and have a fantastic time!

OH MY GOD!!! I was just there and they are so God damn annoying. I don't think no' is in the Colombian dictionary SMH. The beach is worst!!! I know they have to make a living but it really takes away from your Vacation experience. They think every foreigner is rich and will just follow you around. I did get to visit the African city of Palenque and will be doing some charity work there with soccer. I have about 80 videos to post soon LOl-

If you Buy something like a souvenir/gift, do not like them wrap it for you. They will wrap a broken souvenir and you will not figure it out until you are back in the States.

Colombian beach experience? Worst I had in my life. Saying no thanks 4 times in a row every 20 seconds, leaving your things unnatended for 4 seconds on those dirty chairs? Forget it.

Can the authorities do something about this? One thing is for someone to try to make a living, but people harassing everyone? I can’t imagine someone would want to go back…😕
