Barranquilla → Puerto Colombia: key facts

Getting from Barranquilla Airport (BAQ) to Puerto Colombia takes about 35 min by car on an empty road (35–50 min in heavy traffic) over 41 km via Autopista Circunvalar de la Prosperidad and 90A. Our private transfer costs €85 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €120 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: 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. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Puerto Colombia is a seaside town about 35 km from the airport, west of Barranquilla on the Caribbean coast. The route crosses the metropolitan area on the Avenida Circunvalar and continues on the Corredor Universitario (Carrera 51B / Vía a Puerto Colombia) past Villa Campestre and the university district. The drive usually takes 40 to 50 minutes; on weekends and holidays the road to the beaches gets busy, especially on the way back in the afternoon.

The town grew around its iron and concrete pier, opened in 1893 as the main port of Colombia; partly collapsed, it now stands as a landmark at the end of the main street. Beaches with seafood kiosks line the shore in the town and in Pradomar and Salgar to the north, where the Castillo de San Antonio de Salgar, a former customs house, overlooks the sea. Puerto Velero and Caño Dulce, further west, are known for kitesurfing and weekend beach visits.

Public transport: There is no direct public transport from the airport to Puerto Colombia is; local buses run from Barranquilla.
