I
visited
this
very
popular
spot
for
locals
and
tourists
alike
in
Barranquilla
Colombia,
located
along
the
banks
of
the
Magdalena
River,
in
the
Malecon
(stone-bilt
embankment)
This
is
more
than
just
a
place
to
come
and
visit,
take
a
few
pictures,
and
go.
NO,
you
HAVE
to
experience
it
ALL.
Starts
with
the
party
boat
(buy
the
tickets
in
advance),
which
takes
you
along
the
river
for
a
two
hour
navigation
up
to
the
old,
and
new
bridge
that
connects
Barranquilla
and
the
road
to
Santa
Marta.
It's
a
slow
progression
from
when
you
board
and
find
a
place
to
sit,
and
everyone
is
just
enjoying
the
picturesque
views
of
the
city
as
you
travel
along
the
river.
Then,
somewhere
in
between
the
DJ
starts
the
music,
there's
a
small
bar
that
caters
to
beer
and
hard
liquor,
and
everyone
starts
dancing
nonstop.
The
locals
and
tourists
mingling,
dancing,
laughing,
simply
put
enjoying
life
without
a
care
in
the
world!
The
boat
departed
around
4:30
pm,
and
returned
around
6:30
pm.
By
this
time,
the
group
i
was
with
we're
all
hungry,
and
a
short
distance
from
the
boat
was
the
place
that
holds
tremendous
amount
of
Colombian
gastronomy,
Caiman
del
Rio.
Listen,
it
is
not
a
pier
or
restaurant
row.
One
large
building
that
engulfs
about
20-25
small
restaurants
with
all
types
of
foods.
From
finger
food,
pizza,
meat,
seafood,
fish,
and
lots
to
drink.
Sort
of
like
a
food
court
on
steroids.
It
is
family
friendly.
We
hung
out
until
one
in
the
morning.
Time
flew
by,
and
didn't
notice
it.
This
is
a
must
stop
place
in
Barranquilla
or
Quilla.
Colombians
know
how
to
have
a
good
time
and
are
friendly.
There's
lots
of
security
activity
in
the
area
in
case
you're
wondering.
This
is
the
place
where
the
Carnaval
de
Barranquilla
goes
through.
Celebrated
towards
the
end
of
February
each
year.
I'm
planning
that
trip
for
2025.
Anyway,
i
encourage
you
to
visit
highly
el
Caiman
del
Rio
you
want
be
disappointed.
