Queremos iniciar con esta entrada de la misma forma en que entran al país: Por el aeropuerto (puede que también piensen entrar por tierra, para lo cual haremos un análisis posteriormente).

Para llegar a Cartagena, si vienen del exterior, es muy probable que tengan que pasar por uno o dos aeropuertos, ya estando en Colombia. El primero puede que sea el de Bogotá. Este aeropuerto, llamado "Aeropuerto internacional El Dorado" (aunque ahora legalmente se conoce como "Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento") *, el cual es uno de los aeropuertos mas grandes y virtualmente organizados del país, y que ademas esta siendo ampliado, es agradable a la vista, para pasar un rato tranquilo ya sea entre vuelos o esperando a alguien. no nos centraremos mucho en este, porque quisiéramos profundizarlo posteriormente. A pesar de eso, compartimos con los lectores una foto de lo que se proyecta será el Aeropuerto El Dorado después de la ampliación.
La siguiente y ultima parada en el viaje de ida (ingreseaquísuciudad-Cartagena) es el aeropuerto Internacional Rafael Nuñez. También esta en ampliación, que resulta ser bastante incomodo porque de por si es pequeño, y ahora las ampliaciones lo hacen aun mas reducido a la vista. En este desafortunado momento para esta terminal aérea, lo único que motiva es a llegar rápidamente al hotel/hostal/casa/taxi. Lo que se ve en la foto es solo una parte de las reparaciones llevadas a cabo.
En este aeropuerto solo hay 3 Cafeterías/restaurante. unas pocas tiendas de regalos, Cajeros automáticos suficientes, y el flujo de personas es suave, lo que hace mas llevadera la espera. Si lo que desea es irse inmediatamente para su destino dentro de la ciudad, y espera abordar un taxi, tiene dos opciones: 1) Tomarlo a la salida del aeropuerto, los cuales serán mucho mas seguros, y la espera será inferior, pero los precios serán superiores, como es de esperarse. Por ejemplo, una carrera hasta el centro puede ser cobrada, dentro del aeropuerto, desde $9000, dependiendo lo afortunados que se sientan los conductores. Una carrera a Bocagrande estará, siguiendo esta misma linea, desde $10000 pesos. La recomendación en este punto es: siempre NEGOCIE el precio antes de subirse al taxi, para no llevarse sorpresas.
2) Salir del aeropuerto, es decir, caminar una cuadra hacia el Occidente geográfico. Allí los taxis serán mas abundantes, por lo tanto tendrán la disposición, (y lo sentirán hasta como una obligación) de cobrar menos que adentro del aeropuerto. Y repito: NEGOCIE el precio ANTES de subirse.
Si tienen alguna pregunta, duda, inquietud o comentario no duden en hacerlo saber, y responderemos de la forma mas diligente posible.
Hello Again!
We'd like to start this entry the same way you get into the country: trhough the airport (you may also be planning on travelling thru land-means, but we'll be analysing this in a further publication).
If u come from outside of the country, it is very likely that you have to land first in Bogotá. whose name is "Aeropuerto internacional El Dorado" (although now is legally known as "Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento") Which is one of the largest and well-organized airports of the country. It is also being expanded, and if now is pleasant to sight, is nice to hang out there, even if you have to wait between flights, you will have plenty of options inside there. We'll be considering this airport thoroughly in an upcoming entry.
Your next and last destiny of your insertyourcityhere-Cartagena trip will be hosted by the aeropuerto Internacional Rafael Nuñez. It is also being expanded, but this work turn this place into an uncomfortable and non-spaced place. In that very moment, the only motivation you'll feel when you arrive to Cartagena will be the desire of getting into the taxi immediately. In the first picture up, you'll be able to see only a small part of the construction process.
In this airport there're only three coffee shops, a few souvenirs shops, enough ATM and the affluence is low, which makes of your way-through less dramatic. after you leave the airport you'll need a taxi. Here are Two options: 1. right outside of the airport there will be some taxis, most part of the arrangement made with the place. Those will be a "lil'" more expensive, but they will be safer, and the waiting time will be inferior. For instance, the charge to the "walled city" will be non-lesser than $9000 pesos (around 5 USD), and this price depends on how lucky the taxi drivers feel. If your hotel is located in Bocagrande, charge will be higher than $10000 pesos (6 USD). My recommendation is: ALWAYS NEGOTIATE the price of the ride BEFORE you get into the taxi.
2. outside of the airport, i mean, walking West, following the exit roads. Taxis there will be cheaper because of their abundance. because of it, they will feel motivated (sometimes forced) to lower their prices. But always remember: NEGOTIATE BEFORE you get into the cab.
Any questions or suggestions please, le us know them in the comment section below. By the way, our mother language is not English. if you find any grammatical mistake, let us also know. Our wish is to reach and help as many people as possible, in a respectful and well-organized way.
