Workation in Barranquilla: the essentials
Every year before Lent, Barranquilla stages one of Latin America's great carnivals, a tradition listed by UNESCO as intangible heritage. For the rest of the year, Colombia's fourth-largest city is a hot working port of about 1.2 million people on the Magdalena River, 7.5 km from where it reaches the Caribbean. The Gran Malecón promenade along the river gives evenings a focus, and for the sea itself you head out to Puerto Colombia in the metropolitan area. Few foreign visitors stay long, so daily life is local, and there are some coworking spaces. Ernesto Cortissoz airport is about 13 km away. The heat and humidity hardly let up, so an apartment with air conditioning is worth insisting on.
