Cartagena - Post Report Question and Answers

What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?

Too much to list. Oil and filters for your car. Spices for Mexican and Indian foods. The international food scene is very limited here. Food isn't as great as in other Latin American countries. - Feb 2020


Almond Flour, pecans, American snacks. Anything gluten-free or low-carb keto friendly is either non-existent here or super expensive because they import it. Lemons, sweet potatoes, and Greek yogurt are hard to come by here as well. - Aug 2019


We brought liquid laundry detergent on the advice of others and were very glad. It is expensive and of poor quality here. Also, UPSs are a MUST for your electronics. Surge protectors for your small appliances as well. - Mar 2012
