A very enriching activity. Very illustrative, it presents you with a very clear idea of the history of Barranquilla, its present and future. We will definitely return to the city in the future to see the projects carried out.

Barranquilla Museums Guided Tour

At the time of your choice, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Barranquilla and begin a four-hour tour of the city's main museums.

First of all, we'll head to the Parque Cultural del Caribe, where we'll find the Museum of the Caribbean. In fact, it was the first regional museum in the country. Inside, we'll take a guided tour to learn about the historical memory of the Colombian Caribbean.

Next, we'll take you to the former home of the United States Consul, which today houses the Romantic Museum of Barranquilla. Once inside the building, we'll walk through its rooms and see letters signed by Simón Bolívar or the typewriter of Gabriel García Márquez himself.

The last stop is the Casa del Carnaval, where you can soak up the festive spirit of the city. Curious masks, colourful costumes and much more awaits you! This museum is one of the locals' favourite haunts and as we wander through its fun exhibition you'll understand why!

We'll finish the tour by dropping you off at your hotel in Barranquilla.
