Program description

The Cabo de la Vela is a majestic place located approximately 163 km from Riohacha. Here, the exotic beaches of the Caribbean Sea converge with a large coastal desert making a unique visual experience of contrasting colors. This zone of the Caribbean hosts many arid landscapes that cannot be found anywhere else.

​

The indigenous people that inhabit the zone (the Wayúus people) call this place “Jepirra”, which they believe is a sacred location where deceased spirits travel to the unknown afterlife. The Cabo de la Vela is considered to be one of the must-see places of interest by travelers, as well as being a popular sight for Colombians.
