who claims that the so called "carnaval de Barranquilla" is just second to Rio? There are thousands of carnival festivities in the world. I dont know a ranking containing all of them. Where are the sources of this? They dont mention anything about the increasing poverty levels (70% of the population) and that the "golden gate" of Colombia is just a name because the main colombian harbor is in Buenaventura and the second one in Cartagena de Indias. They dont mention anything about the real documentated history of the city and how after being a model during the 1950´s became slowly in a just a big city without any organization.
