The Malecón in Barranquilla is the most visited spot for tourists and barranquilleros alike: a walkway alongside the Magdalena river, with restaurants, parks and sports fields.

The river trip leaves from here. You reach the dock and board LA MITA, a ferry that takes about two hours along the Magdalena: under the great Pumarejo bridge, the highest in Colombia and the widest in South America, and through the Ciénaga de Mallorquín, thick with birds and the vegetation of the region.

One departure only, 15:45 to 18:00, and only on Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays.
