The Wayuu are Colombia's largest indigenous group, with over 400,000 people living on the La Guajira peninsula. Their own justice system was declared UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010. They speak Wayuunaiki, practice matrilineality and maintain a sacred bond with the desert, the sea and the wind.
Our Alta Guajira Tours work directly with 60+ allied Wayuu families. Every ranch where you stay, every guide we hire and every meal you eat is produced by the community. No middlemen. Your trip directly strengthens the local economy and supports the preservation of Wayuu culture and their territory.
Punta Gallinas is the northernmost point of South America. Cabo de la Vela is La Guajira's iconic destination, with kitesurfing and unique sunsets. The Taroa Dunes fall directly into the Caribbean Sea. The Pilón de Azúcar offers unmatched panoramic views. All accessible only by 4×4 with local drivers.
