What to do and see in Barranquilla, Atlantico Department: The Best Private Tours

December 29, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

Vibrant Barranquilla is the epicenter of Carnival,a four-day festival of food, music, dance and beautiful party people. For the other 361 days of the year, the fourth-largest city in Colombia offers plenty of opportunities to pursue a balance of epic nightlife and historic sightseeing. The churches alone are their own festivals of architecture, and the impressive Museum of the Caribbean is a great source of political, cultural and social context.

We used Bukap Travels twice during our visit to Santa Marta and would highly recommend them to others. Diva guided us through Tayrona, we were impressed with her knowledge of the area and she kept a good pace for us to follow. If you go on the Tayrona your, bring small bills or change so you can purchase popsicles along the way. Juan Carlos drove us to our hotel and Cartagena which allowed us to learn more about the area and unwind. We enjoyed the embedded history lessons throughout the drive. During our travels, some areas were blocked off and Juan Carlos handled everything seamlessly. We made it to our destination safely and on time.
