La Guajira: Desert, wayuu culture, and authentic adventures in northernmost Colombia
La Guajira is one of Colombia’s most enigmatic and breathtaking destinations. Located at the country’s northernmost tip, it is home to the Wayuu people, the majestic desert of salt and sand, and surreal landscapes where the Caribbean Sea meets golden dunes and ancient rancherías.
This is a place where connection with nature, spirituality, and cultural immersion come together to create truly transformational experiences.
Air connectivity and infrastructure
The main gateway is Almirante Padilla Airport (RCH) in Riohacha, with direct flights from Bogotá and Medellín. La Guajira can also be reached by road from Santa Marta or Valledupar, making it ideal for multi-destination itineraries.
While accommodation in remote areas is rustic, there are eco-lodges with rustic luxury, Wayuu cultural rancherías, and new glamping and sustainable lodging projects. Riohacha and Uribia offer mid-range hotels, while Cabo de la Vela and Punta Gallinas provide immersive experiences under star-filled skies.
