Armed Bodyguard Cartagena | Tourist Personal Security
Professional Protection for Colombia's Caribbean Jewel
Why Use Armed Bodyguards in Cartagena?
The UNESCO World Heritage walls of Cartagena's Ciudad Amurallada attract millions of international visitors annually. This historic charm creates perfect hunting grounds for sophisticated criminal networks targeting foreign tourists, cruise passengers, and luxury travelers.
Express kidnappings, jewelry theft, and coordinated pickpocket operations exploit the narrow colonial streets and tourist-focused areas. The concentration of wealth from cruise ships and luxury hotels makes Cartagena a premium target for criminal enterprises.
Cruise Port Targeting
Criminal networks monitor ship arrivals and target passengers with valuables during shore excursions.
Old City Scams
Sophisticated theft operations using fake guides and coordinated distractions in historic districts.
Beach Club Robberies
Luxury resort areas where thieves target expensive jewelry and electronics from tourists.
