Barranquilla
Every year the streets of Gabriel Garcia Marquez' former hangout are filled with hundreds of thousands of revellers for a UNESCO-listed carnival.
About
Within a century of being recognized as a town, Barranquilla grew to be the country’s principal port and second-largest city. A melting pot of cultures, the city’s diverse population gave birth to the country’s largest carnival - a UNESCO-listed affair that sees a dizzying variety of costumes and music parade through the streets. The rest of the year, Barranquilla receives few visitors, meaning it will just be you and the locals in the many great bars and restaurants. The Plaza de San Nicolás is dominated by the vibrant, 18th-century St. Nicolas Church and is lined with cafes and restaurants where you can watch the world go by. Gabriel Garcia Marquez used to meet with a group of like-minded writers and philosophers at the restaurant-bar La Cueva, which still holds live performances and readings. Garcia Marquez even has a section among the varied exhibits at the unique Museo del Caribe. If you really want to surround yourself with the ocean, head to Puerto Mocho Beach. This beach marks the beginning of a causeway that offers 360-degree views of the water!

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions, here are the answers.
Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time.
