LOCATION, CLIMATE AND OTHERS
 
This beautiful city, established at Colombia’s Caribbean coast, is undoubtedly Colombia’s tourist capital. Considered a truly military fortress from Colonial America, it is a unique city, surrounded by the sun, the sea and history. Cartagena is located an hour’s flight away from Bogota, Colombia’s capital city, and there are several daily flights between both cities.

Founded in 1533, and declared as Historical and Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, Cartagena comprises a historical colonial section: an old city surrounded by monumental walls extending around the Fortress of San Felipe de Barajas, America’s largest military castle, and the Bocagrande and Laguito sectors, the modern city. Rosario islands, a chain of small islands with attractive coral beaches, are near Cartagena.

With a warm climate year round, the approximate temperature in May is between 25 and 30°C (77 to 86°F). The dress code during the Assembly meeting is Business Casual.
