Complete 3-Day, 2-Night Itinerary Tour La Guajira: What to Do and See in La Guajira, Colombia

We invite you to explore the heart of the Colombian Guajira desert, from its idyllic beaches to the northernmost point of South America. Exploring La Guajira means diving into one of the most impressive and extreme landscapes along the Colombian Caribbean. This natural gem, located in the far north of Colombia, is a land of contrasts: dunes that merge with turquoise beaches, endless deserts, and indigenous communities that preserve their traditions. Guajira is known for its desert landscapes, idyllic beaches, and the presence of the Wayuu indigenous community. It’s also home to the northernmost point in South America: Punta Gallinas.

La Guajira is a department located in the northeastern corner of Colombia, in the Caribbean region. It borders the Caribbean Sea and Venezuela to the north and east, the Cesar department to the south, and the Magdalena River to the west. Best time to visit La Guajira? To enjoy the desert landscapes and beaches, the best months to visit La Guajira are during the dry season from December to April. While any time is possible, you may experience rain or flooding in May and from October to November, which affect travel and activities across the region. How to get to La Guajira? The closest airports are Riohacha or Santa Marta. This is a perfect destination to combine with a trip to Tayrona National Park . If you’re visiting both destinations, I recommend flying from one airport and departing from the other to avoid extra transportation. Transportation from Tayrona National Park to Riohacha by shared taxi costs $80,000 COP per person. Why visit La Guajira? From Riohacha to Punta Gallinas, every corner of La Guajira has something unique to offer. It’s a perfect destination for those seeking adventure, authentic contact with ancient cultures, and landscapes that seem like they are from another planet. Plus, by traveling with Huellas Walekett , you’re not only enjoying an unforgettable experience, but you’re also supporting charitable tourism: with each expedition contributing to sustainable projects in Wayúu communities.
