Fresh Fruit Salad in Cartagena costs COP 5000–10000 where residents buy it, and COP 15000–25000 in the parts of the city built around visitors.

A useful mental threshold: anything at or under COP 10000 is a normal price for fresh fruit salad in Cartagena. Around COP 7500 is the typical everyday figure. Above COP 15000 you are paying the visitor rate, whether or not the venue is pleasant.
