If you are planning on visiting numerous Colombian cities purchase an Avianca Discover Air Pass in the States. Here is a link explaining it:

(Remember this air pass can not be purchased in Colombia.)

Ok, can I buy an air pass for me and my colombiana novia?? I will only fly in cartagena or santa marta and back to cali!

Although can you fly to cartagena from santa marta??? and back to my home base in CALI!

TINTO looks like it has many restrictions. I just want to go to the beach in Santa Marta or cartagena and back!

I am hoping to get a better fare and hotel como than what I can get!

I am using a extremely cheap ticket to colombia and back, that I a got from continental losing my baggage last time.

Oh oh...LL is putting together Round 2. !El Leon...aparece que no puedes resistir mas! ?Que pasa hermano?

LL, a gal I had talked with in the past mentioned that the beaches in Cartagena proper suck...but that Santa Marta, The National Park at Tayrona are must see's. Tayrona you'll need your Yellow Fever innoculation for, but you should have that anyway traveling in SAm...

Another Question? Is it just the yellow Fever inaculation?

Does anyone know exactly what you need to be innaculated for when visiting The National Park at Tayrona?

I have not been able to find anything about it!

Technically speaking, they donīt ask for any proof of vacinations.

Depending on how risk adverse you are, see the following link.
