Puerto Berrío, River port municipality in Antioquia, Colombia

The municipality sits along the Magdalena River at an elevation of 70 meters, serving as a transportation center for the region.

Founded in 1875 by General Ricardo Maria Giraldo, the town received its name from former governor Pedro Justo Berrío.

The municipality celebrates the Festival of Cometa and Night of Poets, along with traditional dance performances and folkloric music events.

The multimodal port connects travelers and cargo to major Colombian cities including Medellín, Bogotá, and regions in Santander department.

Following a devastating fire in 1925 that destroyed most structures, the town maintained only its railroad facilities and underwent rapid reconstruction.
