We recommend Guajira
Magic SunsetsCabo de la Vela is a site to visit; a mystic encounter between the desert and the sea creates unique sceneries in this splendid spot. Nothing better than witeness a sunset in Cabo de la Vela on a hammock at the beach. The perfect setting for meditation or sharing the moment with someone special. |

Knitting in Uribia
Uribia is the locality with the largest Wayúu settlement and, also, the right place to admire their most representative handicrafts, hammocks and shoulder bags (mochilas). Typical motifs are geometrical figures that represent the natural elements (animals, plants, stars, tracks) that surround Wayúu life. |
Healing cactus fruitSince Guajira is a desertic area, there are many cactuses. The fruit of the Guajira Cactus is known as Iguaraya and seems to have healing properties for digestion. It is traditionally used by locals to make juices and wines with a distinctive Wayuu taste.
