Transport between Baru and Cartagena – Round trip
November 4th 2009.
Since the received information from the hotel Decameron on
November 3rd, a situation is to improve to increase the
satisfaction of tourists concerning the transport between
Baru and Cartagena. In fact, being on a peaceful island in
an all-included hotel is marvellous for Colombians, but
many tourists could be interested in seeing or discovering
things after two or three days of beach, and Cartagena is
a splendid place as well as Colombia itself. For
Colombians to understand this, they would simply have to
go in vacation in another country!
This
transport logistic is something really complex when nothing
exist and many elements are to be considered to get to something
organized, with reasonable prices and profitable for the
transport businesses for the ground and sea round trips.
So, I would rapidly proceed in offering a shuttle service
between Baru and Cartagena in order for people to go in and out
of Cartagena freely without any obligations in using our tours
and excursions. Why? Freedom makes good relations… Here are the
actions to do to rapidly get information and then present our
offers:
• Meet Amin, the owner of the Cocoliso
complex which operates the Alcatraz boats in order to see with
him the advantageous solutions for sea transport. The one about
transfers from the airport by boat (arrival only) and going to
Cartagena. Also see if we can come back at night on sea. Also
see not to pay the quay tax (12.000$ pesos or around 6$). See in
adding a facultative tour to discover the Rosario Islands,
Aquarium, canal del Dique, Tierrabomba, and other sites.
• Meet Walter, the owner of Guianza
Express for the los Pegasos (Bodeguita) airport-quay transport
by bus. Also see for a round-trip for people or groups that
desire go to Cartagena or around the city and also to Santa
Marta.
• Meet taxi driving friends with
radios for returns to Baru on evenings or nights.
• Go to Pasacabellos in order to know
the last ferry to cross to Baru, the fees and see if a bridge is
or will be in construction.
• Obtain information from the
Decameron hotel concerning the taxi’s availabilities of the
hotel in Cartagena. Also see in obtaining something from the
Decameron if this brings added value to them and their customers.
• Meet other operators if the fees
aren’t reasonable.
• Offer this service to other hotels
or other businesses in Baru.
