Day 2

Bahia Honda et Punta Gallinas

After breakfast at Cabo de la Vela, we set off toward Punta Gallinas, crossing the vast and endless landscapes of La Guajira. Along the way, we pass through the Jepirachi wind farm, sweeping desert plains, and the striking scenery of Bahía Honda. We stop for a refreshing swim at Taroa Beach, followed by lunch and a moment of relaxation in hammocks facing the ocean.
In the afternoon, we explore the impressive dunes of Taroa, where the desert flows directly into the sea. The day ends at the iconic Punta Gallinas lighthouse—the northernmost point of South America—where we take in an unforgettable sunset, before dinner and a night under the stars.

Bahía hondita

In the heart of Wayuu territory, we enjoy a meaningful encounter rich in exchange and tradition.
