Carnaval brings together people from all walks of life and ages who celebrate las fiestas de Momo.

Barranquilla's carnaval gets wilder and more lavish every year, with spectacular floats, a reigning queen of the carnaval, musical events and the theme of it all is rumbear hasta que el cuerpo aguante - frolic until you drop.
