Send Flowers to Cartagena, Colombia

Cartagena is the walled colonial jewel of Colombia's Caribbean coast, a UNESCO site, cruise port and honeymoon destination. Beyond the tourists, it is home to a million residents whose relatives abroad send flowers to Bocagrande, Manga, Castillogrande, Crespo and Pie de la Popa, as well as to hotels in the Centro Histórico and Getsemaní for visiting partners.

Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May is the main date, and Día del Amor y la Amistad on the third Saturday of September is the local Valentine's. The Fiestas de la Independencia around 11 November, with the Reinado Nacional de Belleza, bring the city to a standstill. Cartagena is also a wedding capital, so congratulations bouquets are common. Sympathy arrangements, usually white, are sent to the funeral home or the family. Get-well deliveries go to Hospital Universitario del Caribe and Hospital Naval de Cartagena, among others.

Cartagena is on Colombian time, six or seven hours behind central Europe and the same as US Central or Eastern time. Order before midnight local time for next-day delivery. Roses, lilies, mixed bouquets and plants are stocked locally. Please provide the recipient's phone number: the florist confirms the address, and for hotel deliveries the front desk receives the flowers and notifies the guest.
