CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA 🇨🇴

Color. Culture. Sisterhood. And a Birthday Worth Leaving the Country For.

December 2–6, 2027 | 5 Days / 4 Nights

What if this year, your birthday didn't look like the same dinner in the same city?

What if it looked like colorful colonial streets…
Afro-Colombian culture…
Caribbean sunsets…
beautiful dinners…
music in the streets…
and waking up in Cartagena, Colombia?

This is your invitation to stop waiting for everybody else's schedule to line up and choose an experience for YOU.

Come with your girls. Come with your sister. Come solo.

Just come ready to celebrate.

$100 DEPOSIT | MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN AVAILABLE

YES — I’M CELEBRATING IN CARTAGENA 🇨🇴

WHAT IF YOUR BIRTHDAY LOOKED LIKE THIS?

You wake up in Colombia.

Not rushing.

Not cooking.

Not answering anybody's “So what are we doing for your birthday?” text.

You get dressed, meet the ladies downstairs, and step into a city bursting with color.

One minute you're walking through Cartagena's historic streets taking pictures in an outfit you definitely packed specifically for this moment.

The next, you're learning the story of a community whose African heritage has survived for centuries.

Then it's back to the hotel.

Shower.

Nap.

Change clothes.

Perfume.

Cute shoes.

And somebody sends the message:

“Ladies… we're meeting downstairs.”

Tonight, we're outside.

That's the kind of birthday we're talking about.

CARTAGENA IS GIVING… 

🏛️ COLOR + HISTORY

Cartagena's historic center is known for its colonial architecture, balconies, plazas and colorful streets.

This is the day you bring the outfit.

Not because we're planning a photoshoot.

Because Cartagena itself is the backdrop.

🖤 AFRO-COLOMBIAN CULTURE

This experience shouldn't stop at the pretty buildings.

A visit connected to San Basilio de Palenque gives us an opportunity to experience an important part of Colombia's African heritage, culture, music and traditions.

This is one of the experiences that can give the trip depth beyond a traditional resort vacation.

🍽️ FOOD + FLAVOR

Caribbean Colombian flavors.

Fresh seafood.

Plantains.

Rice dishes.

Tropical fruit.

Local specialties.

And yes—we're going to eat.

💃🏾 MUSIC + NIGHTLIFE

When the sun goes down, Cartagena changes.

Music.

Beautiful restaurants.

Rooftops.

Cocktails.

Dancing.

Warm Caribbean nights.

And grown women who packed accordingly.

🌴 TIME TO ACTUALLY VACATION

We're not filling every hour of your day.

There will be time to sleep in.

Sit by the pool.

Book a spa treatment.

Explore.

Shop.

Or do absolutely nothing.

Because a vacation should still feel like a vacation.

THIS ISN'T A SCHOOL FIELD TRIP.

And we're not trying to see all of Colombia in five days.

The Birthday Collection was created differently.

We want enough structure that you don't have to figure everything out yourself…

without giving you an itinerary that has you setting an alarm for 5:30 every morning.

Think:

Culture.

Celebration.

Sisterhood.

Free time.

And room to breathe.

YOUR CARTAGENA EXPERIENCE

DAY 1 — WELCOME TO COLOMBIA 

Arrive in Cartagena.

Meet your transportation and make your way to the hotel.

Check in. Unpack. Exhale.

Then we'll officially kick off our Cartagena birthday experience.

Tonight is about arriving—not exhausting ourselves.

DAY 2 — THE COLORS OF CARTAGENA

Today we experience the Cartagena you've been seeing in pictures.

Historic streets.

Colonial architecture.

Beautiful plazas.

Local culture.

Photo-worthy corners everywhere you turn.

There will be time to explore, take pictures and actually enjoy where we are instead of racing from stop to stop.

And later?

Go back to your room.

Because we're changing clothes.

DAY 3 — PALENQUE: MORE THAN A VACATION

Today brings a completely different side of Colombia.

We'll venture beyond Cartagena for a cultural experience connected to San Basilio de Palenque and its Afro-Colombian heritage.

This isn't the “cute outfit” day.

This is the listen, learn, taste, experience and remember day.

And that's exactly why it belongs on this trip.

DAY 4 — YOUR DAY + OUR CELEBRATION ✨

Sleep in.

Have breakfast.

Relax.

Explore.

Shop.

Spa.

Pool.

Whatever your vacation needs that morning.

Then later…

Everybody go get dressed.

Because we're closing our Cartagena experience with grown-woman birthday energy.

Good food.

Beautiful women.

Pictures.

Music.

Laughter.

And a celebration worthy of the passport stamp.

DAY 5 — UNTIL NEXT TIME, COLOMBIA

Breakfast.

Last-minute pictures.

Last-minute “I should've bought that yesterday” shopping. 😂

Then it's time to head home.

Hopefully with new friendships, a camera roll full of memories and one thought:

“I'm so glad I came.”

Final itinerary, activities and times are subject to change as trip details are finalized.

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED

Travel protection is strongly recommended.

WAIT… YOU'RE COMING BY YOURSELF?

Good.

Seriously.

One of the biggest reasons women keep postponing travel is because they're trying to find somebody else who is ready at the exact same time.

You don't need eight girlfriends.

You don't need the group chat to vote.

And you definitely don't need to convince somebody to spend money on a trip you want to take.

Come with your best friend.

Come with your sister.

Come with your cousin.

Or book your spot by yourself.

You may arrive solo.

But you won't experience Cartagena alone.

BUT MY BIRTHDAY ISN'T IN DECEMBER…

It doesn't have to be.

The Birthday Collection isn't four trips assigned to four birthday months.

Maybe you turn 45 in March but Cartagena is calling your name.

Pick Cartagena.

Maybe you're turning 50.

Maybe you're turning 57.

Maybe it's not a milestone birthday at all.

Maybe you survived a year that deserves celebrating.

Maybe you got the promotion.

Maybe the kids are grown.

Maybe you're entering a new chapter.

Or maybe you simply decided:

This year, I'm doing something for me.

That's enough.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR CARTAGENA TODAY.

That's what the payment plan is for.

Your first decision isn't:

“Can I pay for the entire vacation today?”

It's:

“Am I willing to put $100 down on something I want?”

Then you make manageable payments toward your balance according to your payment schedule.

THE GROUP CHAT CAN CATCH THE PICTURES.

You know how it goes.

You find the trip.

Send it to everybody.

“Y'ALL! THIS IS IT!”

🔥🔥🔥

“I'm going!”

“Girl YES!”

“Send me the information!”

Then deposit day arrives…

👀

Silence.

This year, do something different.

Book your trip.

If your girls come?

Great.

If they don't?

They can love every picture from home. 😂

You don't need everybody else to say YES before you say yes to yourself.

Maybe it isn't another birthday dinner at home.

Maybe it isn't waiting three months for everybody to answer the group chat.

Maybe it's standing on a colorful street in Colombia thinking:

“Wow. I really came.”

Maybe it's learning something you didn't know.

Eating something you've never tried.

Meeting women you didn't know before the trip.

Getting dressed for dinner.

Laughing until your stomach hurts.

And coming home with memories that couldn't have happened if you had kept waiting.
