Two Caribbean beach weeks. One costs far less.
A week in Cartagena costs less than a week in Punta Cana.
Punta Cana is cheap to fly to and expensive to be in (about $130 a day). Cartagena is the reverse (about $75 a day). Over 7 days the ground cost decides it, the part almost nobody prices in.
| Cartagena | Punta Cana | |
|---|---|---|
| Flight (typical) | $404 | $384 |
| 7 days on the ground | $525 | $910 |
| Total, all in | $929 | $1,294 |
Cheaper from 12 of 12 US cities we track, by about $365 all in.
