Carnivale

Hey,

Another quick question.

I just came across a carnival festival in Barranquilla around the end of Feb. Does anyone know if this co-incides with the Brazilian carnival?

Where would be the best place to celebrate "carnivale"?

Dress Code for Colombia

Hey,

This may sound like a stupid question, however im returning to Colombia at the end of this month for a bit of travelling.

Your thoughts are much appreciated!

Gracias
