The site was already described as a trading place where the natives exchanged <strong>shrimp and salt<\/strong>. Supporting <strong>Cartagena de Indias<\/strong>, the city actively participated in the movements leading to the country&#8217;s independence, and on April 7, 1813, it gained municipal status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lacking natural mineral resources, the <strong>Spaniards<\/strong> found little interest in it during the <strong>Conquista<\/strong>. It wasn&#8217;t until the 19th century that the city began <strong>developing significant trade via the Magdalena River<\/strong> with major cities in the country and internationally.

In fact, the city gets into a frenzy a month before to prepare for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During these <strong>four days<\/strong><b>, <\/b>under the leadership of the two main carnival figures, the &#8220;<strong>Reina del carnaval<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>Rey Momo<\/strong>,&#8221; nearly <strong>1.5 million visitors<\/strong> <strong>and locals<\/strong> come together to witness the parade of about 850 groups (nearly <strong>30,000 artists<\/strong>) in colorful, glittering costumes dancing to wild rhythms, attend outdoor concerts, and watch circus and theater performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be amazed by the <strong>diversity and richness of the costumes<\/strong>. Some represent traditional carnival figures like the <strong>&#8220;Congo&#8221;<\/strong> or the <strong>&#8220;Garabato&#8221;<\/strong>, while others depict all kinds of animals, mythological beings, indigenous people, and other popular myths. Masks are also part of the folklore (Bull, Verbenas), along with satirical costumes that mock current events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Barranquilla carnival is also about discovering <strong>traditional music<\/strong> like <strong>cumbia<\/strong> by attending fantastic outdoor concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, I went with my in-laws, and I loved it!<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bf2d7417 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-c4ff2bd7 gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-c4ff2bd7\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Where to buy tickets for Barranquilla Carnival<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-79aa4d81\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-79aa4d81\">\n\n<p>You can get tickets online.
