How to travel from Riohacha-Cartagena, Cartagena-Riohacha

The easiest way to move between coastal cities is by land transport. Next, we will explain two options of how to move from Riohacha,La Guajira to Cartagena, Bolívar and vice versa.

let’s go straight to the point:

1. Travel by bus

The most effective option is to take some of the buses that depart directly from the terminal of Riohacha and have as destination the terminal of Cartagena or from the terminal of Cartagena to the terminal of Riohacha. The distance between these two cities is 392 km and the estimated journey time is approximately 7 hours.

The companies that provide this service are: Unitransco, Coopetran and Expreso Brasilia, the price of this service varies according to the season, its cost is estimated between $40,000 and $60,000 pesos approx. (10,12-15,99 EUR) (11,05–17,45 USD). You can take the bus that suits you best, the first bus leaves from 5:45 hrsand the last bus leaves until 20:00hrs.

2. Travel in “Carrito”

It is worth mentioning that the Cartagena transport terminal is quite far from the city center That is why, that the second transport option, is to take a “carrito” to the city of Barranquilla, these are private cars of transport cooperatives that can leave you in the SAO of the 93, where you can then take a Berlinas Tour to Cartagena.
