The trip after the wedding
Cartagena or Tamarindo?
Both work for a group after the wedding. Here is what actually separates them, from our own rows rather than from a template.
The trip you take with your friends right after the wedding — instead of the honeymoon, or before it.

- Cartagena has 2 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Tamarindo. If keeping everyone under one roof is the point, that is the difference that matters.
- The cheapest whole-group house starts at $150 a night in Cartagena and $300 in Tamarindo — roughly $150 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
- Both are at their best in the same months — January, February, March, April, December.
- We carry noticeably more to do in Cartagena (11 things) than in Tamarindo (6), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
- Cartagena is in Colombia, Tamarindo in Costa Rica.
