Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm talking to you guys. So, when you're down here on Boca Grande, there's going to be people who are going to come up to you and ask you, you want to buy something?

If you guys think the French Quarter in New Orleans is great, you got to come to the Wald City in Cartaha. I think this is even better, more culturally rich, too.

So, do be aware of that. The form requires entrance and exit.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Say 'tarde' or 'no gracias' to politely decline vendors on Boca Grande beach.
Be aware that massage services on the beach are not free and can cost 50,000 to 100,000 pesos.
Fill out the MIG Colombia entrance and departure forms online before traveling to avoid issues at immigration.
