The trip starts in Riohacha at 7:30 am, after having enjoyed the breakfast. The driver will pick up the travelers in a 4×4 car to go to the town of Camarones to visit Los Flamencos sanctuary. Once there, we will be able to see the astonishing pink flamingos while we navigate through the mangrove swamp. Then we will drive to Cabo de la Vela, with a lunch stop to enjoy a typical dish from the region. On the way to Cabo de la Vela we will visit the salt mines of Manaure, Uribia and the Carrizal desert to finally arrive at our destination to enjoy the golden beaches and majestic sunsets. We will ascend to the Pilón de Azúcar where we will face strong winds and finish the afternoon contemplating the sunset from the lighthouse. Dinner will be at Cabo de la Vela.

Notes:

• The visit to Los Flamencos sanctuary is only at the seasons when the flamingos are present (most of the year).
• We will get to know the Wayuu culture also by staying overnight in comfortable hammocks or chinchorros. However, it’s sometimes possible to sleep in a bed (if available) for an additional fee of 40.000 COP.

On the second day, we will be visiting Cabo de la Vela’s most representative places. We will begin the morning with a delicious breakfast, then, we will enjoy looking at Pilón de Azúcar where we can appreciate the magic contrast between desert and sea. Afterwards, we will head to Arco Iris Beach, where we will have enough time to enjoy a delicious bath in the sea’s warm waters and its golden sand. At midday, we will be back to Ranchería to have lunch and then go back to enjoy the beach, where the nautical sport enthusiasts can practice kite surfing, a typical activity from this place due to its high air currents (this activity is not included in the trip price). Towards the end of the afternoon, we will take a vehicle to the Faro, a beautiful place from where we can appreciate the sunset over the sea, one of the biggest spectacles of this place. Then we will return to Ranchería to have dinner and rest.

Note
– We will be immersed into the Wayyu culture spending the night in rancherias in comfortable hammocks or chinchorros. There is also the option of sleeping on a bed (if available) for an additional cost of $40.000 COP.

After breakfast in Cabo de la Vela we will head to Punta Gallinas, at Colombia’s north corner. It implies a four-hour travel through the desert where we will pass by the Eolic Farm Jepirachi, Bahía Portete viewpoint, Bahia Honda desert, and finally, we will arrive to one of the most beautiful places in the Guajira region: the astonishing Taroa Dunes, located in the middle of an imposing blue sea with golden sand. There, we will walk through the dunes, filling our bodies with its energy and mysticism; afterwards, we can take a refreshing and purifier bath in the sea. In the end, we will head to Punta Gallinas, where we will visit Bahia Hondita and Punta Aguja. We will spend the afternoon enjoying the sunset in El Faro, Colombia’s and South America’s most northern place.
