The desert of the Guajira.
The Guajira is a wonderful place. I was there a long time ago. I still remember it is natural
beauty, the friendliness of it is people and the overwhelming topography. The people are quiet
and shy. The temperature is generally hot. The women wear the Guajira blanket, it is a long
and loose dress. Generally very colorful. I really like them. This is a photo of that walk. I was

We stayed five days. One day we visited a Rancheria where the journey lasted four hours and
on the way we had to throw sweets and cookies for the children who were hiding in the desert
cacti. That was an all-day ride. It was beautiful to see their customs and enjoy their
gastronomy. The desert is rough and tangled so you must travel with an expert guide who
speaks Wayuunaiki.
