ACCOMMODATIONS
At the time of this writing, a hostel had not been located. The cheapest options
are off Carrera 43. The neighborhood is semi-shady, but safety is not an issue if
you play it smart. There are tons of upper end hotels scattered throughout the
city. You must take a glance at the map before choosing your hotel, as
Barranquilla is a large city.
