The Colombian city of Barranquilla is the capital of the Atlantic province, located in the Caribbean region close to the mouth of the River Magdalena. This has contributed to its status as one of the most important ports in the zone.
Barranquilla is surrounded by some beautiful natural scenery and it has some major festivals, particularly Carnival, which is considered to be one of the most important festivals on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. It is a very lively event that reveals the true spirit of the people of Barranquilla and also shows the city’s Caribbean side.
Some important places for the visitor include: Bocas de Ceniza on the waterfront and the port of Puerto Colombia with its historic harbour and its attractive beaches, the Viejo Prado, the Amira de la Rosa Theatre, which shows plays, art exhibitions, musicals and events of all kinds throughout the year. There is also the old Customs House, the “Romantic Museum”, the Barranquilla Modern Art Gallery and the zoo, which has species from all over the world, but specialises in local animals.
Get to know this beautiful city, its festivals, its history and enjoy Barranquilla!
