Description

Do you think the best alternative is to watch the parades from the stands? Naturally, no. It's far more fun to take part in parades and walk along the famous Vía 40 with different troupes and painted trucks full of celebrities and famous artists. Come travel with us in our caravan on Saturday at the famed Battle of Flores Parade, where we'll be positioned alongside the Colombian Football Federation truck among some of the national football team's legends. On Monday, we'll be at the Great Fantasy Parade. Barranquilla Carnaval is a four-day celebration that includes music, dancing, drinking, and general merriment. Both locals and visitors dress outrageously and let their guard down at this time. On Saturday, the celebrations kick off with a 6-hour procession that features hundreds of traditional dancers, artistic groups known as 'comparsas,' and massive floats. Participating in the Son Caribe comparsa parade, one of the most popular and enjoyable in the city, is a highlight of the highly anticipated 'Batalla de Flores' Carnaval celebration. We will have one of the most skilled dressmakers create a custom costume for you on Saturday based on this old custom. You can wear it in the parade and then save it as a memento of Barranquilla's Carnival. Around five kilometers and five hours will pass during the Parade along the famed Via 40. We will be following Son Caribe Comparsa's professional dancers and artists throughout the Parade, making new friends, and sipping aguardiente. Don't forget to wave your hand as you join the real Barranquilla Carnival hosts in the spotlight parade. And at night, we'll head to a neighborhood bar—one of the most well-known and frequented throughout Carnival season—to party with locals and visitors until your feet can take any more. Conclusion, with this experience you get tickets to participate with the famous local 'comparsa' Son Caribe in the two most important parades, 'Batalla de Flores' (Battle of Flowers) on Saturday, February 10th and the Great Fantasy Parade on Monday, February 12th. As well, we will continue the after parade party in a local bar. A customized costume, hydration and some aguardiente will be included as well. In summary, this experience includes tickets to join and be part of the two biggest parades, the 'Batalla de Flores' (Battle of Flowers) on Saturday, and the Great Fantasy Parade on Monday, when you join with the well-known local 'comparsa' Son Caribe. We'll also carry on the post-parade celebration in a nearby tavern. There will also be some aguardiente, water, and a personalized outfit included.
