La Guajira

This is a peninsula full of contrasts provided by the sea, sand, coal, cactuses, and a small green oasis. It is the home of the Wayúu Indians – sons and daughters of the land and the rain - where reality blends with fantasy and the weaving of very artistic handicrafts.

• Location: In the north of Colombia.
• Temperature: 21-25°C.
• How to get there: By air to Santa Marta and Riohacha; by land on trunk roads coming from the interior of the country.
  

Experiencing La Guajira

On land

During the journey to Cabo de la Vela, a magical site thanks to its scenery, tour the Manaure salt flats and Uribia, Colombia’s Indian capital.

At sea

Enjoy the coastal lowlands; at El Bajo, at a depth of 9 m, a large carpet of coral may be seen; visit Portete and Honda bays to see fire and ten-finger corals. The beaches of the area are nesting sites for caná, carey, and caguama turtles.

Where to stay:

A wide offer includes hotels, eco-habs, tourist inns, and camping sites.
