Barrio Abajo
A heritage of traditions
Pulsing to the rhythm of drums and the flauta de millo, with vibrant murals and facades that echo Caribbean history. In this corner of Barranquilla, the spirit of Carnival is felt year-round; it’s home to the Carnival House and Museum, guardians of its folklore. Here, in streets that recall the legacy of García Márquez, Alejandro Obregón, and Joe Arroyo, the vibrant essence of a city deeply rooted in its heritage comes to life.
