All Tours in The Guajira Peninsula

Tour companies across the Caribbean coast offer packages to the Guajira; multi-night trips will find you sleeping in chinchorros (hammocks). These excursions tend to be quite pricey, ranging costing from $75 to $191. One day trips from Riohacha are also available from $27 per person (minimum of four). Some scuba shops in Santa Marta and Taganga arrange diving safaris at Cabo de la Vela and other points off the Guajira coast. Tour operators also have a Tarde de Ranchería, a visit to a Wayuu community. You learn about the culture and traditions of this nation, see a dance performance, and partake in a typical Wayuu meal including friche (goat meat) and ­­­chirrinchi, the traditional alcoholic drink. Before deciding on an agency, ensure its vehicles are in good shape and plenty of water is taken along; remember you will be traveling across isolate desert. As well, check the relationship the operator has with the native communities; it should work in partnership with them and not in exploiting them.
