safety
Cartagena compared to other Colombian citys is safe, but things change every day, and from location to location so, just make sure to:
-do not exchange money in the streets, go to an ATM, and rather use the ones inside (supermarkets or inside the bank)
-always keep an eye on phone and money
-stay in the tourist areas, avoid lonely dark streets
-AVOID RAW SEAFOOD (ceviche for ex.) very specially on the streets
-wash fruits before eating them

how to deal with street vendors and beach massages
They can be very intense, the ones giving massages best trap, they give you a "try" just a "sample" and then they charge. If you are truly interested, set up the price.

evita reservar viajes en botes con operadores informales
Nunca reserves vijes en bote con operadores informales. Exige chaleco salvavidas y ve solo en lanchas de dos motores que tengan registro turístico. Los operadores informales pueden ser muy irresponsables.
