Welcome to Colombia

If your hotel room and flight have already been booked then you are almost ready to join us. We are so excited to have you in our home town. Now it’s time to get ready for the heat! The temperature in Barranquilla typically varies from 75°F to 90°F and is rarely below 73°F or above 94°F.

What to wear? in Barranquilla the style is chic, elegant and more relaxed, think lots of white and light fabrics, include colored tunics and short sleeved tee’s to pair with maxi skirts, a cute pair of cut off denim shorts and a pair of printed loose trousers. Include a pretty printed maxi and tea dress, club dresses and heels for the nightlife scene, I will also include one pair of jeans.

if you are planning to visit Cartagena or Santa Marta, as a tropical climate be sure to pack your favorite pair of sunglasses, a hat and plenty of sun cream to protect you from the sun’s glare, light colored flowing maxi dresses and skirts are perfect for women, men should purchase a ‘guayabera’ from a local clothing store, it’s kind of like a safari/camp shirt, popular in South America. Don’t forget to pack a swimsuit/bikini and cute cover-up to hit up the beautiful sandy beaches. Comfy shoes are a must as you’ll probably be doing a lot of walking and sightseeing, pack a cute pair of pastel colored sandals for relaxing on the beach. Pack a pair or good walking shoes.

A strong insect repellent would be useful.
