What we will do in this experience
Hi! I’m Andersson, your local host and a passionate Junior Barranquilla fan. Let me take you on a special sunset experience at the city’s most iconic football monument: the Ventana de Campeones, also known as the “Shark Fin.”
The experience starts at 5:00 PM and lasts around 2h30 – the perfect time to enjoy the golden light and sunset over the Magdalena River.
We’ll explore the monument dedicated to Junior, located at the southern end of the Gran Malecón del Río Magdalena, next to the drawbridge. This striking glass structure (33m tall with reflective panels) celebrates the history and identity of Junior de Barranquilla.

We’ll walk along the modern and photogenic Gran Malecón, the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset over the river, take amazing photos, and soak up the atmosphere. Along the way, I’ll share stories of Junior and what this monument means to fans like me.
To complete the experience, we’ll enjoy a typical costeño snack and drink by the river, and you’ll also receive a small symbolic souvenir to remember your visit.
This is more than sightseeing — it’s an immersion into Barranquilla’s football spirit, its people, and its flavors.
