Cartagena Photoshoot Tips
I want to help you make the most of your vacation and ensure your photo session is an amazing experience. To keep everything smooth and enjoyable, here are some important tips that will make your photoshoot tour more comfortable.
Remember, the photo tour is done on foot, walking through the streets and stopping at the most beautiful spots. That’s why it’s best to travel light and bring only what you really need.
The best time for photos is early in the morning! From 7:00 am to 10:00 am the light is softer, the weather is more pleasant, there’s less humidity, and fewer people around — perfect conditions for amazing pictures.
After 11:00 am until 4:00 pm, the heat, humidity, and larger crowds can make the photo session more challenging.
But remember, we can always make it work — in the end, you decide the time that suits you best!

Important Recommendations
We’ll be walking for about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the photoshoot service choose. Please bring comfortable shoes for walking (easy to slip on and off) and your nicest shoes for the photos.
Don’t forget sunscreen—it’s almost always sunny.
Stay hydrated. The weather is hot and humid. If you forget to bring water, no worries—we can buy some at any local shop.
Bring wet wipes or something to freshen up, so you’re always photo-ready.
If you tend to sweat a lot, I suggest wearing darker colors so sweat marks don’t show on your shirt.
If you have one, bring a small portable fan to keep cool.
Carry a small, light bag or backpack for your things—something practical, since we’ll be walking and taking photos along the way.
You can easily use up to 2 outfits: one for the colorful houses and streets, and another one for the city walls (I recommend bright colors).
Keep in mind there are only two public restrooms available (cost: $2,000 COP or about $0.25 USD).

The first is right before starting the photos on the wall.
-
The second is near the Clock Tower.
-
There are also many restaurants and bars with restrooms, and we can use them with a small purchase.
