Barranquilla and Puerto Colombia territorial dispute

Overview

The Instituto Geográfico Agustín Codazzi (IGAC) has submitted a 400-page technical report to the Congress of the Republic to address a territorial dispute between Barranquilla and Puerto Colombia regarding the Corredor Universitario.

The proposal utilizes 15 cartographic points and coordinates based on historical, geographical, and legal precedents. It suggests incorporating approximately 1,036 to 1,153 hectares into Barranquilla’s jurisdiction, including Villa Campestre, the Corredor Universitario, sectors near the Universidad del Atlántico and Universidad Libre, Ciénaga de Mallorquín, and Puerto Mocho.

Barranquilla’s administration has expressed support for the proposal, noting that jurisdictional clarity is necessary to facilitate public works such as mobility, security, and urban development. While the report supports Barranquilla’s historical position and follows Council of State rulings that annulled previous boundary modifications, the proposal is not yet binding and requires legislative approval from Congress.
