Luxury Built on
Real Operations
No hype. No middlemen. Just execution.
The gap between perception and reality is where we live.
Elite Cartagena is not a booking platform. We are a logistics and operations company built for high-trust, high-accountability travel.
In an industry dominated by anonymous listings and outsourced responsibility, we chose to own the operation itself — vetting, coordination, oversight, security, and logistics — end to end.
"Access is easy. Execution is rare. We exist to close that gap."
Raised in Queens.
Forged in NYC Real Estate.
Before founding Elite Cartagena, Juan Carlos spent a decade in Manhattan luxury real estate and residential property management across NYC.
That background shaped how we operate. Today, we apply the same rigor to high-value assets, licensed crews, executive security, transportation networks, and complex multi-party logistics across Colombia.
