 Avianca plane by mircaskirca
At Bogotá's airport Donna's father was waiting for us with the car. Though not on the direction to their home, he kindly offered to drive me to Candelaria. We were stuck in a traffic jam so it took us quite a while to get there. With all my luggage, I was really glad to be delivered right to the door of Platypus hostel where I was staying.

You can fly to Barranquilla from any major US airport, American Airlines, Avianca and Continental have flights to BAQ.
The best way to get around is by cab (taxi). The minimum fare is 2,000 Pesos, as of 11/2000, or the equivalent of US$1 -- Prices may vary depending on final destination, place of pick up, etc. but you shouldn't pay more than 7,000 to 8,000 Pesos for a long ride across town.

After less than one hour of driving we made a short stop in Santa Marta and then continued to Barranquilla. All together the journey took about three hours.
The bus terminal in Barranquilla is located 7 km from the city centre. By urban bus it took almost an hour to get there.

Yeah - i'm talking about this colorful loud monster that's coming toward you at high speed.... Ok, first thing - no bus-stops in b/quilla. if you need to stop the bus, just raise your hand and it will stop (or run you over). riding a bus on the caribbean coast is an experience in itself - loud music, full of people trying to sell you something, going like 100 km/h in the city, etc. but once you get used to it you might actually enjoy the extreme sport the call public transportation. you pay for the ride to the bus driver when you get in, and it costs 700 pesos on workdays and about 800 at weekends.

What jdoyle4811 says is true overall. You probably want to take a defensive driving course before driving most everywhere in Latin America. But there are many beaches 25, 30, 45 minutes off Barranquilla, some nicer than others. Plus a car would allow you to go East to Santa Marta and La Guajira and West to Cartagena and beyond. Of course, as you should do whenever you go to a new place, try to make friends with trustworthy locals who may guide you as to where not to go at certain times, particularly if on your own.

One of the most loved and revered venues for barranquilleros is undouptedly the Teatro Amira de la Rosa. It was the constant and persistent effort for 30 years to build a cultural centre. With the support of Banco de la Republica the theatre was inaugurated on 29th of June 1982 by then president Julio Cesar Turbay Ayala, with the presentation of the gala performance of the Ballet of Canada.
Teatro Amira de la Rosa has been a point of convergence, social epicenter of the city and artistic meeting point, where major national and international events take place. There are dance and theatre performances, workshops for children, conferences and writers readings. The area around the theatre is surrounded with gardens and green areas for outdoor shows, such is the famous festival Barranquijazz.
The Municipal Theatre was named after Amira de la Rosa, poet and artist from Barranquilla, who contributes to the creation of the Hymn of Barranquilla.
