Guided Sunset Walk Along The Magdalena River Boardwalk

The experience will begin at 5:00 p.m. at Puerta de Oro – Event Center, one of the main entrances to the Malecón del Río. From this point, you will begin a guided walk through a space that is now part of daily life in Barranquilla. Within a few minutes of starting, you will notice how the route opens up amidst green areas, wide paths, and direct views of the Magdalena River. The guide will tell you how this place, which for years turned its back on the river, was transformed into a meeting point for walking, exercising, and enjoying the afternoon by the river. During the walk, you`ll pass by some of the Malecón`s most recognizable icons. You`ll see the Shakira monument up close—one of the most photographed spots on the tour—and learn why it became a symbol of the city. Further along the route you`ll find the Junior`s Fin, an essential reference point for understanding the football passion of Barranquilla`s residents, and the River Caiman, a sculpture that connects with the fauna of the Magdalena River and the region`s cultural imagery.

The pace of the walk is relaxed, with natural stops to listen to stories, take photos, and observe how people make the space their own: families strolling, athletes training, and groups sitting and gazing at the river.

As evening falls, the light of the setting sun transforms the landscape and gives the tour a special character. The experience will end at the Malecón del Río Skate Park, a lively and youthful area where the atmosphere becomes more dynamic. From here you can explore on your own, find something to eat, or simply enjoy the nightlife by the river.
