About Cartagena

Cartagena is Colombia's Caribbean crown jewel — a perfectly preserved 16th-century walled city of multicolored colonial mansions, flower-draped balconies, and cobblestone plazas that feel exactly like the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez, who set much of his work here.

Known for its colorful walled city, Rosario Islands, colonial architecture, vallenato music, Cartagena is one of the world's most sought-after travel destinations. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, a destination wedding, a group adventure, or a solo journey, The Wedding Unicorn handles every detail — from flights and accommodations to private excursions and special occasion touches.
