As Colombia continues to climb the ranks as one of the world’s top bachelor party destinations, Cartagena has exploded onto the scene with a huge array of day and nighttime activities. Whether you’re into beaches, yachts, or fine dining, this Colombian city has a ton of options to make your last hurrah a blast.

The best part is that it’s a lot more affordable than it would be in many other US bachelor party hot spots. And that means there’s more room in the budget to hire a world-class team of planners to set up a truly incredible experience.

What you get for your money is a party that rivals anything that you’d find in any other major city on the planet. You’ll find dozens of bars and lounges in the vivacious old town, countless clubs, and scores of beautiful local girls everywhere. And if you’re lucky, your party may be herded around by one of the city’s famed party buses, called “chivas.” These tricked out yellow school buses blast music and flash LEDs for $20 a person. They’re as much fun to ride in as they are to herd your group from bar to bar and plaza to site.

And if all that isn’t enough, the food in Cartagena is some of the finest in the country. Several restaurants earn national and international recognition, including the Cevicheria (a seafood paradise), La Mulata, Carmen Restaurant, and 1621. If you’re on a budget, you can still find some great options at restaurants like Casa del Guindillo, La Esmeralda, and the Governor.

Of course, you can’t leave Cartagena without trying some of the local food, especially if you’re visiting during the famous fusion festival. In addition to the fantastic fresh fish, you’ll also want to check out the roasted pork, the carne asada, and the fried plantains.

If you’re looking for some more adventure, consider going hang gliding with your buddies while in the area. Hang Glide Colombia runs a solid operation in the nearby town of Guatape, where you can fly high above the lake and mountains with views that are simply stunning.

If you’re planning a big bachelor party in Cartagena, it makes sense to stay in the old town. This is where all the action is, and it’s full of hotels with everything you could want for a night to remember. You’ll probably also find yourself walking the streets, rubbing shoulders with hundreds of other bachelors and bachelorettes, all ready to drink and dance the night away.
