Barranquilla Colombia

After Bogotá, Medellin and Cali, Barranquilla is Colombia's fourth largest city. It's the major industrial port located in northern Colombia by the Caribbean Sea, at the mouth of the Magdalena River. The city is famous throughout Latin America for its vibrant four-day carnival. Carnaval de Barranquilla is second only in size to Rio's and it's the largest street parade in Colombia with dance, music and masquerade parades. The carnival in Barranquilla is unique because of its cultural diversity, with Spanish, African and indigenous influences. Strolling the streets of the city centre and the most pleasant district, El Prado, you’ll come across several nice examples of Art Deco architecture and the main sights of the city, with Casa del Carnaval being the highlight. The Catedral Metropolitana María Reina, another of the city’s main sights, is also located in El Prado area. Although Barranquilla is not among the top tourist cities in Colombia you just have to visit the city to get a real feel of Colombia. Barranquilla is Colombian culture at its best.
