Barranquilla Travel Guide

Barranquilla is more a businesstown. Not very touristical area, but has some of the more living clubs, the real thing. As many of the coastal cities are very westernly developed, Barranquilla remained more original, latin! Better leave you wallot and all valuables behind at your hotel. Just take along some money and a fotocopy of you passport, don't provoque those who might feel the urge to remove something from you I would say. Most of the locals head down to the "Soledad" neighbourhood, where you you'll feel the latin rhythms of salsa, merengue, rumba, reggaeton, basicly the typical latina sensual dances.

I have been living here for 3 years and I got to say it may bot be the most beautiful place but the people and ambiance are simply amazing and unforgettable so for who ever wants to talk bad about here need to get there facts straight here it is very peaceful and laid back not as everyone portrays it to be

Not the prettiest city in Colombia, but definitely a lot of fun. Carnival there is really important and the city is alive during these days. I enjoyed Barranquilla a lot and would consider living there.
