Health Tips for Visitors in Cartagena
Jellyfish season
Jellyfish are common on the Caribbean coast year-round, with higher concentrations between December and April. If stung, don’t rub the area — rinse with seawater and consult us for treatment.
Extreme heat & humidity
Cartagena is one of the hottest cities in Colombia. Drink water constantly, avoid midday sun, and watch for symptoms of heat exhaustion — dizziness, weakness, cold skin. Seek help immediately if someone loses consciousness.
Dengue risk
Dengue is present year-round in Cartagena. Use repellent with DEET, wear long sleeves at dusk, and consult us if you develop fever, rash, or severe joint pain after mosquito bites.
Sea urchins & coral
Sea urchin spines and coral cuts are common around the Rosario Islands. Clean cuts thoroughly with clean water — saltwater is not sterile. If the wound becomes red, warm, or swollen, consult us promptly.
Farmacias in Cartagena
Droguería and Farmatodo are throughout Bocagrande and the city centre. On the islands, carry a basic kit — pharmacies are limited on Rosario and Barú.
