Walking Tour Barrio Abajo Barranquilla

Discover the essence of Barranquilla on our Barrio Abajo Barranquilla Tour, declared a ‘Site of Cultural Interest’. Immerse yourself in the rich tradition that has given life to artists, musicians and dancers, who have forged the soul of this community, manifested in its most iconic festivities such as Carnival.

We will wander through picturesque streets where the authenticity of traditional facades adorned with vibrant colours and messages celebrating music, its protagonists, and, of course, the Carnival, still lingers.

Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere as you encounter skilled artisans and cooks who keep alive the heritage of their ancestors. Let yourself be amazed by the open-air galleries, observe groups of adults enjoying traditional games on the corners, and, occasionally, enjoy live music resonating through the streets as musicians practice their choreographies outdoors.

Don't miss the must-see visit to the house that was once home to Gabriel García Márquez in his youth, and later belonged to the legendary singer Joe Arroyo.

Take a break at the house of an emblematic painter from the neighbourhood, who will share with you the stories behind his works and the anecdotes that inspired his art.

Let yourself be carried away by the magic of Barranquilla!
