Meeting point: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the passenger terminal, just after the exit from baggage claim (and customs for international flights), holding a sign with your name.

The Gran Malecón del Río runs along the west bank of the Magdalena River, about 18 km north of the airport. The drive crosses Soledad and the centre, then follows the Vía 40 or the new Avenida del Río that runs parallel to the waterfront. Allow 25 to 35 minutes, more on weekend evenings, when the promenade draws large crowds and parking areas along Vía 40 fill up.
The Malecón is a riverside park of several kilometres with walking and cycling paths, playgrounds, food kiosks and restaurants facing the Magdalena. Its best-known landmark is the Caimán del Río, a viewpoint shaped like a caiman, covered in colourful mosaic. The Puerta de Oro convention centre stands at its southern end, and the Barranquilla Carnival uses the area for events. Cars drop off at the access points and car parks along Vía 40, as the promenade itself is pedestrian.
Public transport: There is no direct public transport from the airport to the Gran Malecón del Río is.
