Hotels in Bolivar, Colombia

Bolivar is a department on Colombia's Caribbean coast, famous for Cartagena's 16th-century coral-stone fortifications and the Rosario Islands' turquoise waters. The tropical climate stays warm year-round-80°F (27°C) average-with dry winters from December to April perfect for snorkeling in the Rosario Islands' coral reefs, and rainy summers from May to November ideal for wandering Cartagena's narrow streets without the crowds. If you visit during the dry season, you can join a boat tour from Cartagena to Isla Barú, while the green season offers lower hotel rates and lush jungle hikes in the nearby Montes de María.
