Where to stay in Barranquilla?
I'm thinking of visiting Barranquilla for the first time during carnival next month and would like to know which areas are safe to stay and not too far from all the action. Also, any specific hotels / apartments that are chica friendly would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Barranquilla. Will it be rewarding or disappointing?
I'm planning a trip to Barranquilla in about a month, how is it down there these days? I've visited Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena, know there aren't as many reports on Barranquilla compared to these cities, neither refined, nor tourist heavy, but from what little I've read, it seems more off the beaten path and rewarding for those willing to explore. Just a recent experience from a traveler would be welcome. I'm willing to follow to be a bit more intentional where I go and how I move around and post what I find after my trip.
Barranquilla May 28-June 4
I'll be in Barranquilla from May 28 to June 4 and planning a side trip to Santa Marta over Sunday / Monday. If anyone has plans or recommendations, PM me.
Barranquilla. Casas, Spas, Clubs, Bars, Massage Places
I compiled a list of casas, spas, bars, and clubs from earlier reports for the upcoming trip. Despite there being so many options, I'm a bit surprised the forum isn't more active with only a few recent reports. In the end though, one only need a few solid spots like Bloom to frequent and have a good time. Anyway, I hope this list is useful, thanks to everyone for their reports. Enjoy!
