THE NATIVE EXPEDITION GUAJIRA
Cultural, biological and 4x4 Expedition
The Guajira Peninsula is the northernmost region of Colombia, a place where landscapes contrast in a spectacular way, offering a unique and fascinating environment. This land is also home to Colombia's largest indigenous culture: the Wayuu, a living symbol of ancestral cultural preservation. Exploring La Guajira means delving into a semi-desert ecosystem, with thorny vegetation and vast plains shaped by the trade winds. While flat landscapes dominate, the Macuira Mountain Range rises, a small mountain chain reaching 850 meters at its highest point, providing a unique experience in one of Colombia's most remote and authentic corners.
4 Days trip: Punta Gallinas:
At 05:00 o'clock in the morning from the De La Vela cape, we continue our journey through La Guajira, which will take us to another destination: Punta Gallinas, the most northern place in South America! A distant place (5 hours approx from De La Vela cape) of impressive desert landscapes and a very diverse and surprising coastal fauna and flora. There we will spend the afternoon to see once again one of the most beautiful sunsets in Colombia. The next day, at 8 in the morning we will start our return to your location in Riohacha.
5 Days trip: Serranía del Macuira:
This option of 5 days is made to have the opportunity to make a trekking crossing the mountainous area of Macuira to enjoy this magical place more carefully crossing through this small mountain range to dive into the forest of this oasis, knowing the history, discovering the fauna and flora and reaching peaks of up to 500 meters in order to admire in one single panorama the immensity of the desert, the mountain range and the contrast of both ecosystems. At the end of the day we will rest for the next day and very early in the morning, start our trip back to your location in Riohacha.
3 Days trip: De La Vela Cape:
We will start this adventure at 8:00 AM in Santa Marta. From there, we'll take a bus to the Cuatro Vías sector in Maicao, where we will transfer to a private vehicle that will take us to the town of Manaure. On the first day, we will explore Manaure, learning about its culture and its salt and natural gas industries. The next day, we will continue our journey to Cape De La Vela, following the established itinerary. Upon arrival at Cape De La Vela, we will spend the afternoon enjoying the stunning landscapes and watching the sunset from this beautiful geographical feature. After a typical regional lunch, we will continue our journey, eventually returning to our initial location in Santa Marta.
