The Packing List: Cartagena, Colombia

cartagena packing list

Cartagena, Colombia is a gem of a place situated on the Caribbean coast! It will surely delight you but making sure you pack just the right items will make the trip even more enjoyable! No matter what time of year you’re going, be sure to pack lightweight dresses, comfortable sandals, sun protection products like hats and sunscreen, a bathing suit, shorts, and a jean jacket for the evenings! While there are beaches there, you may not be spending everyday there so be sure to pack a variety of items that would work for both the boat / beach and walking around town. In today’s post, I’m highlighting some of the items I packed and / or think would be a great option!

What I think is great about this group of products is that they would really be perfect for anyone heading to a warm weather destination! So, if you are headed to the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Brazil, the Bahamas, Miami, etc., be sure to give it a look!

I absolutely love these earrings! They come in multiple colors and are a great statement with so many outfits.

Y’all know I can’t get enough of this tunic! It’s so flattering and I love the embroidered detail. It would be so cute with a pair of denim cutoffs!

This is a new design for the Greece sandals that you’re always seeing, and I LOVE it! So cute!

I take this brush-on sunscreen everywhere I go. No longer do we have to slather on goopy sunscreen over our makeup! Love this product!

This top is so adorable and would be flattering on lots of body types!

Really love the ruched detailing on the sides of these bikini bottoms!

You probably saw on my Instagram, but I wore this hat almost every day of my Cartagena trip! It’s such a great price and so cute on!

I’ve been so obsessed with this mask for my travels. Highly recommend, especially if your vacation requires a long flight!

I always love the idea of a coverup dress, but how cute are these pants! Love these especially for nights on the beach when it’s a little cooler.

This is a dupe of the bag that I have, and it’s only $20!

I love the bright, sunny look of these wedges! Would go with so many warm weather outfits.

I had this set last year and they’re restocking it this year! The rose gold dots are a great detail.

Just like the rest of your face, your lips need SPF love too!

This playful little beach bag is cute and functional all at the same time! I actually just got this in the mail for my next warm weather getaway – only a few more weeks to go! I think it’d be so cute with the coral-y red dress below!

This is a great transitional piece from day to night! Or beach to dinner! Pretty much wearable all day long on a warm trip.

I wore these wedges so often in Cartagena. They were comfortable and went with a ton of different outfits!

I love the fit of these denim cutoffs! Perfect for everyday wear on your warm weather vacation!

SPF isn’t just for the few hours you’re at the beach! This product is great for all-day protection.
