Barranquilla
Metroplolitan Cathedral
A cathedral is always an opportunity to see some fine architecture when visiting a city and the Queen Mary cathedral in Barranquilla will not disappoint. Whether you view it from outside or take a tour of the interior, this is a building which is sure to stun. There are still regular services and mass held at the cathedral and so those with a spiritual inclination might want to take part in some of these services as part of their holiday.
Gran Malecón
Linear park located alongside the Magdalena river with breathtaking sceneries of one of Colombia's biggest natural park (Via Parque Isla Salamanca). It’s perfect for every family that wants to enjoy an outdoor experience in direct contact with the river and its natural environment. Includes playground, restaurants and cultural activities.
Barranquilla and its Window to the World
Since May, on the round point that connects Circunvalar Avenue and Via 40, more than 300 men have been building the highest monument of the country, which will become a very important chapter of Barranquilla’s history. We are talking about the 45 meters high “Window to the World” -La ventana al Mundo in Spanish-. The monument –designed by architect Diana Escorcia from Barranquilla- aims to become the most emblematic landmark of the city. It was not thought of as a simple window, but as one that will show Barranquilla’s history through an open air gallery and will reflect the development and potential of a constantly growing city. The window is the screening of two foundations that represent Barranquilla’s creativity and talent.
Museo Mapuka
MAPUKA is the Archaeological Museum of the Karib Peoples. Its purpose is to contribute to the recognition of the identities of the Colombian Caribbean from the appreciation and activation of the memory of the cultural processes that were lived in this territory during the pre-Hispanic and colonial periods, until the first half of the 20th century, through the archaeological remains.
