• Avoid carrying large sums of cash, don’t carry cameras in plain sight and do not leave belongings unattended. 

• Heed the advice of your hosts, Cartagena Visitor Centre staff, or locals on where to go after dusk. Avoid walking in deserted and dark places at night. Park in a secure, well-lit area with street guards. 

• Never allow strangers to assist you in any way at ATMs or cash points. 

• Street children and beggars may approach you for a handout. 

• In the historic center of Cartagena, you may run across some street informal vendors trying to convince you to buy things, and some other actors of informal economy, including street rappers. Be careful and ask for help to any security if you feel harassed by them. 

• Barriers in communication are common due to the language gap. Write some words on paper in Spanish that could help you communicate with locals in case words fail you. 

• Keep copies of all valuable documents in a safe place.
