    El lugar ideal para leer, conversar, pasear, despejar la mente, escuchar el canto del río magdalena o simplemente para sentir la brisa. En el malecón del río encuentras múltiples opciones de actividades para realizar, igual que una gran diversidad gastronómica con precios ajustables a los diferentes bolsillos. Aquí puedes encontrar, desde un típico raspa'o de cola con leche, hasta las mas exquisitas recetas asiáticas. Lo tengo en mi lista de imperdibles en barranquilla y lo seguiré teniendo siempre, porque me encanta este lugar!

    A very well maintained river front in Barranquilla, with a lot of food options. The river gets busy with ships most times, however the place is windy which helps the humidity. The place is a very colourful depiction of daily life of this city. My recommendation would be to visit this place either early in the morning or after 3 pm when it is not too hot. Food options are plenty in the place and drinks too. My only complaint would be that there are not a lot of coffee options.

    This is one of the best place in Barranquilla, it is also the most visited attraction in Colombia nowadays. We are expecting the netflix serie "Stranger Things" and now there are some publicity here, I took some pictures about it.

    THIS IS NOT THE BOARDWALK! People have posted the wrong pictures here. This is the Football monument and the bridge is closed to the other side where the boardwalk is. Cool enough to see but pretty shaddy area and I don't suggest walking to this location.

    Do you want to watch amazing sunset? In Barranquilla is Magdalena River Pier. Your family can the watch the sunset, until the wind makes music in the Pipes that has made the Pier.

    Strong winds make it a little hard to stay near the edge of the water, but it has a great view. The road is not very long, though.

  • 5/5 Rashed B. 2 months ago on Google • 46 reviews New
    I enjoyed Barranquilla malecon. It was beautiful to walk along the river. Somewhere in the middle is club Colombia. An entertainment area and a very nice open market style food court with bars, food vendors, and many desert cafes. I visited in February. I would recommend sun rise or sunset. Midday can be extremely hot, and if you're not from here, fluids management is crucial.

  • 5/5 Bryan L. 2 months ago on Google • 43 reviews New
    If you come to barranquilla, you definitely need to visit the malecon. The area is surrounded by the Magdalena river, restaurants, bars, playgrounds for the kids, and a lot of people walking around. You can even rent a scooter and ride around. The Shakira statue is pretty close. I recommend comparing prices before you pick the place, i noticed some difference from one place to another. Overall, it is a nice place to come and see the sunset. Have some beers and take some photos

    This is so dangerous. That part of the malecón is super lonely. If you walk there as a tourist people will rob you. There is no one to help you. The security and restaurants start at the Tiburon monument. Do not walk there alone.

  • 3/5 acsllinas l. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice place to enjoy part of the Magdalena river views, however it is not very well maintained.

  • 3/5 Ana M. 2 years ago on Google
    It located in a remote area. Is a great attempt to do something in the area but it is not worth it to drive just there. I has a few restaurants but not much going on . Maybe in a few years more things will be developed.

  • 3/5 Olaf S. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice project on an ugly, desolate island. Maybe people come here on the weekend, when I visited it was completely deserted. Might be a nicer area in a few years after they build City offices across the road.

  • 2/5 Brian S. 4 years ago on Google
    The construction and walk-way are nice but the river is filthy and there is a bad smell coming from it. The park is an attempt at making the heavily industrialized area around the bank of the river a tourist destination. Sorry. I just wasn't feeling it.

  • 5/5 Julian G. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice Barranquilla! I enjoyed visiting your malecón and having a fun time at Caiman del Río.

    (Translated by Google) If in doubt the city needed to look to this wonderful side, it always makes you want to return. Not only is it that you know and face the impetuous Magdalena River but you can also walk, do an exercise, distract yourself and of course enjoy a delicious meal. Rather it has to go. (Original) Si duda le hacía falta a la ciudad mirar para este lado tan maravilloso, siempre dan ganas de volver. No solo es que conoces y le das el frente al impetuoso río Magdalena sino que también puedes caminar, hacer un ejercicio, distraerte y por supuesto disfrutar de una deliciosa comida. Mejor dicho tiene que ir.

    (Translated by Google) Spectacular. Our new site to show. Although it is not yet completely finished, the great magnitude of all this work can be noticed. There are hundreds of meters built available to walk, walk, observe the river, feel the breeze, feel the sun in the day or see the moon at night. You can ride a bike or walk, now in a pandemic it is open and they take your temperature when you enter and you have hand gel and a wide year at the entrance where you can wash your hands. (Original) Espectacular. Nuestro nuevo sitio para mostrar. Aunque todavía no está totalmente terminado se puede notar la gran magnitud de toda esta obra..
