I’ve been operating a business out of Barranquilla since 2018. Young people have been flocking to the city over the last few years. It’s become quite a vibrant progressive and young person’s city. The economy is doing great. Lots of new construction, jobs are plentiful, and the city is very affordable. Highly recommend Barranquilla.
Glad you enjoyed it Kat, Barranquilla is working hard to stimulate it's tourism. Compared to Cartagena, it was never it's main focus but now things are slowly changing and it's interesting to see the effort being made.
Great to see you back to traveling Hyro. Columbia is a beautiful country with some amazing culture. It's been 15 years since the last time I've been there. If you get a chance check out the country side. You won't be disappointed. Safe travels brother.
Thanks bro, Colombia will def. surprise you! I’ve been to many other parts of it in the past. This is a region I was yet to visit and it’s always great to explore new places. Thanks for watching!
Good question... I can't fully recall but it was around $15 at that time. The exchange rate has changed a lot though so don't take my word for it (might be cheaper now).
Wow Hato Airport has changed! Beautiful airport the last time I was there the prices were extremely high as in any other airport! I loved the reception in Colombia, beautiful Sunset at the Malecon🇨🇴😍
Great video lief, of your first day in Colombia 🇨🇴 and the journey there! I don't know much about Colombia, and I'm really excited to see more of this beautiful country in the coming weeks 😍 I'm already super surprised about the cheerfulness and colors of the city of Barranquilla 💫 Love the sunset when you were at the malecon 🧡 I'm really looking forward to your experiences on the 2nd day 🌸🥰
Thanks lief 🥰 We didn’t or at least I did not expect much from the first day but it ended up being lots of fun. I also immediatly learned that they have some amazing sunsets too due to the often afternoon rain. It was sooo nice!
You could travel on your own around Colombia. As everywhere, you should avoid slums, and contrary to other places, the city centres tend to be among the rundown parts of the city and have some hotspots at night, as the sector becomes devoid of people (they are mostly commercial), Bogotá being the exception, for the most part. Some cities are better at the north, some at the south.
For the most part, you should be able to stroll around by foot, if you wished so, but around popular neighborhouds, you might wanna stay away from lonely streets.
There’s a very good chance that I’m going with my fiancé and my four-year-old in March. How safe is it out there? My fiancé says it’s safe but it has never been there and I’m a bit nervous especially bringing my four-year-old and my fiancé isn’t gonna take no for an answer when it comes to bringing our four-year-old, I really want to go, but I question it
Buen video, es bueno q den a conocer nuestra cultura barranquillera a otras latitudes y espero q vuelvan a disfrutar de nuestras costumbres y q tengan un pronto regreso, gracias y muchas bendiciones
Upon reviewing your video, I'd like to offer the following insights: 1. Watching you consuming food might not be the most engaging for the audience. 2. Your participation is certainly valued; however, it may be advantageous to broaden the scope of the content's focus. While your demeanor is undeniably pleasant, the primary appeal seems to be the environment in which you find yourself. It would be prudent to accentuate the expansive backdrop and setting, as this could provide a more enriching visual experience for the audience. 3. Considering the incorporation of better quality background music could further elevate the video's production quality. In general, the video is of commendable quality.👍Your ability to articulate and describe unfolding events stands out and deserves special mention.
I am a Barranquillero and just telling you, me nor my family have ever been mugged nor been in danger. One of my friends had their phone mugged, but otherwise its aafe.
The sunset at 18:41 is beautiful!🌇🌆
It sure was!

Couldn’t agree more. You can feel something is moving in the right direction… I was impressed!
What kind of business do you operate?

The sunset at the Malecon was amazing. I hope to make it out there in the next year or so.
It really really was! Beautiful colors just out of the camera…
Awesome video! I've been to Cartagena and loved it! Didn't get to go to Barranquilla

I guess it’s sort of island hopping . Nice to see different parts of area !
Yes somewhat 😊 It’s fairly nearby and still the Caribbean☀️

Great to see Barranquilla before we go there for Christmas 2022. Hyro, what's the price of the SIM card @ BAQ ?
Good question... I can't fully recall but it was around $15 at that time. The exchange rate has changed a lot though so don't take my word for it (might be cheaper now).
You could get a 20 day voice+data package for around 5 dollars, at the current rate.
I haven't been to Barranquilla in 8 years and going back this Friday for 9 days.
Awesome, enjoy it!!!🙌🏼🙂
Wow Hato Airport has changed! Beautiful airport the last time I was there the prices were extremely high as in any other airport! I loved the reception in Colombia, beautiful Sunset at the Malecon🇨🇴😍
Yes, it looks very nice now 🙂 The reception in Colombia was fantastic and very colorful!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us Hyro 👍
My pleasure 😊 glad you enjoyed it Marcel!
What an amazing welcome too!!
Yes, that was sure fun!

@@LetsgowithHyro leukleuk lief!! Happy to hear that 🥰
Wow 🤩 enjoy my friend
Thank you my friend! 🙂
15:47 malecón is a popular place in Barranquilla but i really don’t know the translation
No problem thanks for watching :-)
Maybe harbor?
I enjoyed the video Hyro
Glad you did Carleanos!
Master bro, i Know santa Marta and cartagena, Barranquilla i have to visit another time.
Thanks 🙌🏼 I’ve yet to visit Santa Marta but will have a Cartagena vlog soon.
Sun looks beautiful there
It sure did!
Have fun!
Thank you 😊 my friend!
I guess Malecon would be similar to Boardwalk, or Promenade
Didn’t think of those but def. more of what it seemed like, thanks for the input!
I think this is the first time seeing you travel in a group, do you not advance travelling on your own to columbia?
Hello Callyod, I’m not sure I understand your question☺️ Could you rephrase?
Where’s Columbia? 😂
The country Name is COLOMBIA
COLUMBIA IS INSULTING
You could travel on your own around Colombia. As everywhere, you should avoid slums, and contrary to other places, the city centres tend to be among the rundown parts of the city and have some hotspots at night, as the sector becomes devoid of people (they are mostly commercial), Bogotá being the exception, for the most part. Some cities are better at the north, some at the south.
For the most part, you should be able to stroll around by foot, if you wished so, but around popular neighborhouds, you might wanna stay away from lonely streets.
You can also travel between cities by airplane, or by bus. Expect travel times around the hour, and around 10 hours, respectively, among major cities.
Im going next month...im terrified to take my cell phone out....how dangerous is it?
Never felt real danger but I would suggest to be careful, especially with phone and jewelry.
How much is the flight from Curaçao?
Hi Linda, the flight was only 20 minutes✈️ (Aruba to Curacao).
I am seeing prices around $120 to $130 so round trip about $260
❤❤❤
Thanks!
Did you have to take any influenza shots to travel to Columbia?
No I did not have to.
There’s a very good chance that I’m going with my fiancé and my four-year-old in March. How safe is it out there? My fiancé says it’s safe but it has never been there and I’m a bit nervous especially bringing my four-year-old and my fiancé isn’t gonna take no for an answer when it comes to bringing our four-year-old, I really want to go, but I question it
I never really felt unsafe but was told to be very careful, especially walking the streets. You should be ok if you stick to certain areas.
At minute 8:19 the waitress have to give the welcome drinks on a tray.
You have a point!
That music in the hotel drove me insane.
😊I hope in good way…😅
🤣
What is the name of your travel group?
It was an invitation by EZ Air :-)
Visiting a USA style shopping mall will definitely not be on my priority list when I visit Barranquilla.... 😁
Understandable ;-) it was an itinerary that was set for us.
Buen video, es bueno q den a conocer nuestra cultura barranquillera a otras latitudes y espero q vuelvan a disfrutar de nuestras costumbres y q tengan un pronto regreso, gracias y muchas bendiciones
Gracias por su bonito comentario. Disfrutamos mucho de este viaje! Esperamos volver!

@@LetsgowithHyro she was born in Barranquilla
@@LetsgowithHyro yes born and raised, as well as Sofia Vergara

Thanks for your help, appreciate that!

Hello!

Who knows☺️

Thanks for watching Eric :-)
Malecon = boardwalk
Thanks Zeus :-)
Waterfront , Esplanade
Thanks 🙂 for the input👍🏼 I appreciate it!
According to the travel guide this is one of the most dangerous places in Colombia to visit .
I’m sure it must have its dangers but worth noting that I never felt unsafe during my stay.
I am a Barranquillero and just telling you, me nor my family have ever been mugged nor been in danger. One of my friends had their phone mugged, but otherwise its aafe.
You get around………
☺️just a bit😅
Interesting. Costa Rica is known for it's maricon....similar ?jajaj
