SUGGESTED SPECIAL SERVICES
|
AIRPORT TRANSFER
Taxis are safe and easy enough and cheap enough (15,000 pesos). But if you really want to remove all the stress, order a private transfer. You will need to tell us your name, flight number and arrival time, and where you will be staying. The price is $20USD (or $25 after 10pm). If you are more than 4 people or have a lot of luggage and need a van.. we will need to get another quote. To up the luxe factor, you might want to book a limo pickup instead. |

PRIVATE MASSAGE
We work with a few different massage therapists who are able to arrive directly to your hotel or private accommodation. Please note: if your hotel already has its own massage or spa service, they may not allow outside therapists to enter. If in doubt, please check with your hotel prior to booking the service. Option 1: Conducted by therapists trained by the top hotels and spas in Colombia, this option is a more traditional massage combining elements of swedish, thai, lymphatic and remedial massage. 1 hour massage is priced at 100,000 pesos. Option 2: For a truly transformative experience, Yamila (pictured) provides a complete 2 hour Yoga-Ayurveda- Massage session. This wholistic technique is based in the yoga asanas of India where breath, stretch and relaxation work to renovate energy and restore balance. For more, visit the brief youtube video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnwJCP6NixA This yoga session is priced at 190,000 pesos. Whilst it may seem expensive, every single client that has booked it has called it the best massage of their lives. It is extremely different and beyond any normal massage and we strongly feel that if you want to truly treat yourself (and you should!) this is one of the very best experiences you can give to yourself. We will need to know where you are staying and what day and time you'd like the massage. Advance notice preferred. Remember, our online office is manned during business hours Monday to Friday. |

PRIVATE PORTRAIT SESSION
This city is so darn photogenic and makes the perfect backdrop if you'd like to create a really special souvenir - a set of amazing professional photographs. Great for couples, families, corporate shots, anniversaries, because damn-I-look-good, for anything and anyone. Cartagena is one of the top world destinations for weddings, so there are a huge number of ridiculously talented photographers available to provide this really special experience. Your session would take place in the picturesque settings of the walled town, grittier Getsemani, or/and along the beach or wherever else you can dream up. We recommend photographers who are experts at finding the perfect locations and light to help you shine. Prices would vary depending on how long you require and the destination/s you choose. A 2-3 hour session with a top photographer would cost about 700,000 pesos, prices negotiable. |
