Tour La Guajira, the northernmost part of Colombia and South America, and see the salt marsh of Manaure (and the small, white mountains in its bounds), the flora and fauna sanctuary of Los Flamencos (known for its flocks of pink ibis), deserted beaches, expansive desert and infinite sand dunes.

You’ll also find out more about the coal mine of Carrejón and the traditions (and legends) of the Wayuu, an indigenous, nomadic group, with matriarchal society, organized into clans. Typical Wayuu settlements consist of around five “rancherias” made of mud, hay, dried cane and cacti, and in keeping with the Wayuu’s matriarchal culture, a territory that contains more than a few rancherias takes the last name of the mother in the clan.
