Barranquilla Golden Gate of Colombia
Barranquilla is home to one of the largest carnivals in the world: the Barranquilla Carnival. This celebration, which highlights the best of our cultural roots, showcases the diversity and folklore of the Caribbean region, all to the rhythm of cumbias, porros, fandangos, and other native beats of the Colombian Greater Caribbean. Joy takes over the streets as more than 3 million people dance and sing while various troupes and allegorical characters like the Marimonda, the Monocuco, the Negritas Puloy, the Harlequin Devil, and the Caimán Cienaguero entertain the crowds.
Join the celebration that, since 2003, has been recognized as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity” by UNESCO, and as “Intangible Cultural Heritage” since 2008.
