Guajira Flash: 2 Days and 1 Night to Cabo de la Vela and Punta Gallinas｜Colombia

Experience an intense adventure through the most impressive landscapes of La Guajira on an expedition designed for those who have little time but want to discover the most iconic destinations in the far north of Colombia. For 2 days and 1 night, you'll travel through the Guajira desert in 4x4 vehicles, crossing ancestral Wayuu territories and discovering natural landscapes that seem to be from another planet.

The experience starts from Riohacha, heading towards Alta Guajira. Along the way, you'll visit the Salinas de Manaure salt flats and enjoy panoramic views of Mayapo and El Pájaro beaches. Later, you'll arrive at Bahía Portete, Bahía Honda, and the impressive Taroa Dunes, where the desert meets the Caribbean Sea, creating one of the most spectacular landscapes in Colombia. In the late afternoon, you'll watch the sunset at Punta Gallinas, the northernmost point of South America.

After a night's rest in traditional Wayuu accommodation, you'll continue to Cabo de la Vela. There, you'll visit Playa Arcoíris and its famous phenomenon known as the crashing of the waves, climb the Pilón de Azúcar (Jepirra), a sacred place for the Wayuu culture, and enjoy free time to swim in the crystal-clear waters of Playa Dorada. You'll also see the Cabo de la Vela Lighthouse and the Wind Farm, two of the most photographed places in the region.

This expedition combines adventure, nature, culture, and unique landscapes in an efficient itinerary that will allow you to get to know both Punta Gallinas and Cabo de la Vela in a single experience. In addition, by traveling with Walekett, you support initiatives that contribute to the well-being of the Wayuu communities through our Huellas Walekett program.
