Second Only to Rio

Barranquilla's Carnival is generally reckoned the second-largest in the world after Rio's, running four days before Lent and recognised by UNESCO in 2003. The city effectively stops for it.

The clock: Barranquilla keeps UTC−5 at the mouth of the Magdalena, and its aviation history is unusually early — Colombia's national airline, founded here in 1919, is among the oldest still flying.
