Hey everyone,

Little about me, I’m from Los Angeles and I’m bilingual (English and Spanish). I’m using LAX.

Cities I would like to visit:

Medellin (4 days)

Cartagena (2 days)

Santa Marta (2 days)

Parque Tayrona (3 days)

Palomino (2 days)

Ciudad Perdida (3 days)

My Interests: I really would like to retreat for a while, specifically in nature. But still visit a big city like Medellin.

Food, Museums, Historical stuff, Drinking (pub crawls, etc), Nature

My budget for this whole trip is $1000 more or less excluding flights.

1) Critique my itinerary. I was thinking of flying into Medellin, fly out of Cartagena.

1) Based off my itinerary, what’s the weather like in September? What clothes should I bring?

2) How much would I spend for three meals a day?

3) I want to take my iPhone 7 Plus. Do I need any hidden pockets or such? Or take any precautions?

4) Should I buy bus/plane tickets ahead of time? Best way to get from city to city?

5) What SIM cards are best for mobile data? My phone is internationally unlocked.

Thanks for all your help!
