Barranquilla Travel Guide

Colombia

Barranquilla is a city of about 2.35 million people on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. It is one of the country’s main urban centres and a significant port city, with a warm tropical climate for much of the year.

Most visitors arrive by air at Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport (BAQ), which serves Barranquilla. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so beach trips require looking farther along the Caribbean coast.
