How far above an ordinary night
In Cartagena, 2 of the 71 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +30%, on Monday 28 December 2026.
| Difference against nearby nights of its kind | Nights | Share of measured nights |
|---|---|---|
| +30% or more | 1 | 1% |
| +15% to +29% | 1 | 1% |
| 0% to +14% | 30 | 42% |
| Below 0% | 39 | 55% |
| Not compared | 0 | 0% |
Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.
The most expensive weekends (Friday + Saturday)

| 13 November 2026 | 14 November 2026 | $117 | $122 | $239 |
A weekend is listed only when both its Friday and its Saturday night were measured; the sum adds two medians and is not the price of any one stay.
Stretches of high prices
In Cartagena, the longest run of consecutive nights each 15% or more above nearby nights of its kind goes from 28 December 2026 to 29 December 2026 (2 nights), peaking at $168 on Monday 28 December 2026.
| From | To | Nights | Highest median | Largest difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 December 2026 | 29 December 2026 | 2 | $168 | +30% |
A run needs at least two consecutive measured nights; a night not measured or not compared ends it.
Events and holidays on measured nights
In Cartagena, published events and holidays on measured nights: 5; the one furthest above nearby nights of its kind was the night of Tuesday 8 December 2026 (Immaculate Conception): 0%, a median of $114.

| Monday 11 January 2027 | Epiphany (observed) | $157 | -10% | 15 of 71 |
An event or holiday is listed only where its night was measured and compared; an event found automatically also needs a source and a difference of at least +15%. The difference belongs to the night: it says what that night asked, not why.
