La Guajira is a natural paradise where the desert meets the Caribbean Sea, creating landscapes found nowhere else in Colombia. On this 3-day journey, you'll travel deep into the Alta Guajira, through salt flats, cactus forests, and vast desert plains, into the heart of the Wayuu indigenous territory.
The adventure begins in Cabo de la Vela, where you'll visit Rainbow Beach, Pilón de Azúcar Hill, and Ojo de Agua Beach, ending the day with a breathtaking sunset from the lighthouse. From there, you'll continue to Punta Gallinas, the northernmost point of South America, crossing dramatic desert landscapes and swimming at the stunning Taroa Dunes, where the desert meets the sea in one of the most unique views in the world.
Along the way, you'll sleep in traditional Wayuu hammocks (chinchorros), under the open sky, experiencing the authentic hospitality of this remote and extraordinary region before returning to Riohacha.
