💡 Warm reminder
Barranquilla’s climate is humid and hot, so remember to bring sunscreen and a light blouse. Mardi Gras (February-March) is the peak season, and it’s best to book a room in advance. Although street food is delicious, you should pay attention to hygiene! It is recommended to go out together at night. Safety first. Pack your bags and feel the passionate pulse of the Caribbean here!
