Usiacurí Excursion
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Barranquilla at 9 am and head towards the south of the department of Atlántico.
After a half-hour drive, we'll make a stop in the small town of Galapa, where we'll have the opportunity to see how the artisans handcraft Barranquilla's Carnival masks.
