Desert Wanderers




Wind swept plains and howling night gales combined with an otherworldly feel; travelling through the untamed region of Colombia's north west, otherwise known as La Guajira is sure to leave a deep impression on you. 

Deep in La Guajira is South America's most northern land point, Punta Gallinas. Reaching Punta Gallinas involves driving through the wide open desert from Cabo de la Vela. However, the journey does not end there; with a change in transport from a four wheel drive to a boat back to another four wheel drive to the continent's northern edge.

The Wayuu and the Mochila




















According to legend, the women of the Wayuu were taught how to weave patterns by a spider.

This story, however is not about a mochila but about how I came to meet a beautiful Wayuu woman in the wild and distant region of La Guajira.
