Answer 1

if you're white your best bet is to claim you're from Medellin or Bogota where white Colombians mostly live.

About dressing.... dress like people in Miami dress.... it's hot over there.

Answer 2

Mostly they ride 100 - 125CC motorcycles. Its a beach, so it has no mountains very close. Id go there and watch what the locals wear and buy that, but costenos are generally dark complected and if you are as white as rice, no matter how much you tan and unless you Spanish is flawless - costenos have an accent diff. from, say, Bogotenos- you will still be pegged as an outsider. That being said, for the most part no one will care if you are respectful. Dont be a moron and flash a lot of cash. Bring a credit card and use that when you can with that youll get the most favorable exchange rates. Also bring a debit card for cash. Barranquilla is ok. If I were you Id get on the bus and go to Santa Marta and Cartagena. Both are prettier and have more stuff to see.

Answer 3

Barranquilla is a quiet town, Throughout the year the temperature is 37C, and is a city that is above sea level. The sites are very lively rumba.

The hotels are high for what you do not have to worry.
