Yankee Couple Posted November 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Planning on touring La Popa Monastery and was wondering if women must adhere to a dress code. When visiting historic churches in Europe, many required covered shoulders/arms and hems no higher than knee-length. Those who did not know this were given thick, scratchy shawls. If this monastery requires a modest female traveler, I'd prefer to bring my own shawl. Trying to be respectful and trying to plan ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapata Posted November 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2016 If you are referring to La Popa in Cartagena, we were there in October and wore shorts and sandals.... No need for the shawl. It was very hot and humid the day we were there. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you on a tour, we were lucky to be one of the first mini busses there that day, the parking lot is small and gets crazy with all the busses and taxis arriving.

Yankee Couple Posted November 17, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I appreciate your photo of the attire d'jour and, to be honest, can't wait to see what everyone is looking at! This is our first visit to Colombia. We will be taking the ship's tour (HAL Zuiderdam) that combines this destination with the Castle of San Felipe de Barajas, a gold museum and shopping. We should be one of the first busses there, as we leave port at 8am! Boarding in just two weeks and the excitement is hard to contain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
