For the ones living in Barranquilla, what would you suggest to discover the region?

When you have friends or family visiting you, where do you go with them? What are the must-see places in Barranquilla, the tourist sites?

How to visit the region in an original way? Any unusual or unknown place to recommend?

What would you suggest for a couple of days of for a week of holidays in Barranquilla?

Thank you in advance for participating ;)

Barranquilla is an industrial city - dirty and polluted. About the only interesting sites in the city are the various cathedrals. Most B'qillians go to Santa Marta if they do anything 'fun' for a weekend. Even the Barranquilla beaches are not all that great. The Santa Marta beaches are much nicer.
