Tourist Guide Barranquilla
Barranquilla is seated on the edge of the northern part of Colombia that is fronted by the Carribean and Pacific lowlands.
It is the largest industrial city and port on the Colombian Caribbean region (earning itself the epithet Golden Gate to Colombia) and the fourth largest city of Colombia with a population of 1.7 million.
The climate is hot and very humid. Daytime temperature usually remains around 32°C. Nevertheless, from late November to early April, the trade winds cool it to a more comfortable temperature during the day.
The city grid is divided in the typical Colombian way: calles (streets going from north to south) and carreras (avenues going from east to west). Barranquilla’s culture is marked by a cosmopolitan streak, with the city home to Lebanese, Italians, Germans, and the Chinese.
