What you can expect

  • Discover one of La Guajira's best-kept secrets on an expedition to the Macuira National Natural Park, an oasis where the desert gives way to mountains covered in greenery and cloud forests that are unique in Colombia. This experience will take you on a tour of Alta Guajira while you learn about the natural and cultural richness of the ancestral Wayuu territory.

    The adventure begins in Riohacha, crossing the salt flats of Manaure and Uribia, and then entering the semi-desert landscapes of Alta Guajira. During the tour, you'll discover Wayuu communities, learn about their traditions, and enjoy the vastness of the desert until you reach the Macuira National Natural Park, considered one of the most extraordinary ecosystems in the Colombian Caribbean.

    Once in the park, you'll take a guided hike along nature trails surrounded by vegetation, where you can observe the transition between the desert and the cloud forest, as well as enjoy natural wells and unique biodiversity. The experience continues with time to rest, connect with nature, and learn about the spiritual and environmental importance of this place for the Wayuu people.

    This expedition is ideal for travellers looking for a different experience, far from the traditional routes, combining adventure, trekking, nature, and culture in one of the most amazing national parks in Colombia. What's more, by travelling with Walekett, you support responsible tourism initiatives that generate well-being for the Wayuu communities of Alta Guajira.
