Selah Travel, LLC

Afro-Colombia

Jun 19, 2025 to Jun 26, 2025
Cartagena, Colombia
Selah Travel will host an expedition into Colombia's culture, which has one of the largest populations of African descendants in the world. Afro-Colombians worked in gold mines and on coffee, sugar cane, cotton, tobacco, and banana plantations. They participated in the country’s fight for independence from Spain and served in various capacities in the military. They established Palenques, Black towns where they live as free citizens. Currently, an estimated 45% of Cartagena residents are of African descent.
 
The travel dates are June 19-26, 2025. The travel package includes airfare, ground transportation, gratuities, hotel, and daily breakfast. The lunches, dinners and excursions listed on the itinerary below are included, as well. The itinerary is based on current availability and costs. Changes may occur due to availability, scheduling, and pricing.

Lodging

Hyatt Regency Cartagena is located on the Caribbean Sea and Bay of Cartagena. Complimentary WiFi is offered around the property. We are reserving Ocean View rooms, which have a king bed or two double beds. There are restaurants, a gelateria, room service, spa, gym, and an adult pool. Also, the hotel is near a mall, stores and restaurants.

Since the lodging will be included in a travel package, the hotel may not allow rewards account numbers to be added to the reservation. When checking in you can ask if points can be applied to your rewards account. You can visit the hotel's website at:

Costs And Payments

The estimated package quotes are $3,400.00/person with double occupancy and $4,700.00/person with single occupancy. The estimates are based on current pricing departing from Atlanta. The actual cost will be determined by the rates at the time of booking and your departure city. Airfares, hotel rates and availability can change at any time until a reservation is made and the rates are locked in. You can select Premium/Comfort+ or First Class seating on the Registration Form.

Roommates must pay the deposit at the same time to make the reservation. After Selah Travel receives your Registration Form the actual cost will be provided for your approval, then the reservation will be made.

The deposit is $300.00/person. Payments may be made via a debit or credit card. Selah Travel will provide receipts each time payments are made. After making the deposit, you can utilize the payment plan below. At any time you can make payments of a larger amount or pay off the balance; you don't have to wait until the due dates.

 

**Please Note**

If A Roommate Cancels A New Quote Can Be Requested At The Prevailing Rate At That Time

 

After you approve the reservation all payments will become non-refundable, unless you purchase travel insurance. If you must cancel the trip the travel insurance may reimburse 100% of the payments when cancelling for covered reasons, and 80% for uncovered reasons. The policy also includes pre-existing medical conditions, and provisions for medical expenses and emergencies during your trip.

The insurance premium is based on the total trip cost, age and state of residence. After your Registration Form is received Selah Travel will also provide a quote for the insurance. The range is approximately $300.00-$500.00/person, depending on your age and your package cost.
