Of course, along your trip, you will have traditional and local food so you can taste La Guajira’s real flavors and you will also have the opportunity to share with some Wayuu people. We are aware this trip is not for everyone, so it is and remains an adventure.

After finishing this amazing trip, we invite you to check out our 4-day tour in the Lost Trek in La Sierra Nevada Natural Park, for adventure lovers like you!
In this 3-day journey, the guide will pick you up in your hotel in Santa Marta and drive you for less than 3 hours to the first destination: Riohacha, the capital of La Guajira. This place is home to indigenous communities of Santa Marta’s Sierra Nevada as well as to the Wayuu people, the largest indigenous population in the country. Besides going to Riohacha, we will visit Manaure, known for the artisanal sea salt extraction method. After touring around there, you will be headed to Uribia, the capital of the Wayuu.
On the second day, you will visit Honda and Hondita Bay (which means deep and a little deep) and then you will be taken to Punta Gallinas, which is the northernmost point in Colombia and South America. Its landscapes and views of the Caribbean coast are exceptional and unique.
On the third day of this journey, you will have beach time at the Taroa dunes, where you will be able to walk down the dune directly to the water and practice sandboarding if wanted. The Taroa Dunes are the only Caribbean dunes in Latin America.
On the last day, you will wake up early and start your drive back to La Guajira and Santa Marta. There, you will be dropped off at your hotel to rest after an amazing experience.
