EXPOTUR RIOHACHA

We liked the Guajira tour we did (2 nights 3 days) but think there is ample room for improvement, especially considering the money you pay for this tour.

For starters, you mostly cross through Wayuu territory and see a lot of people begging. The agency claims it has good relationships with the local people but still the driver (whom himself seems to be of Wayuu descent) pays toll with packets of cane sugar and sachets of water at every checkpoint. It would have been a lot more interesting if we had learned about the Wayuu people, their customs and why there are so many of them that have resorted to begging. Additionally, I would have hoped to learn about the handicrafts that they sell. Where are they made and where do the patterns come from. Currently it could just as well be that they’re selling a bunch of bags from Chinese sweatshops.

A second point that I think deserves improvement is the flora and fauna. Since this is a unique biotope in Colombia, many animals only live here. I would have liked for our guide to explain more about that. It doesn’t have to a David Attenborough-tour, but a little background on the flamingoes, the mangrove forest, desert goats and luminescent algae would definitely have been a solid addition.

Lastly: sadly, it is impossible to miss the insane amount of garbage everywhere and there is the biggest open coal mine of South America here. It would be good if information had been given on how these two factors have impacted the environment and the local people here.

Tl;dr nice nature, underwhelming experience overall

Hablo de las mini dunas

Tour di 3 giorni e 2 notti a punta Gallinas. Ci siamo trovati molto bene. Concordato tutto via mail prima della partenza (risposte veloci e molto disponibili alle varie esigenze). Tour vario e ben articolato con due momenti per potersi rilassare in spiaggia e fare un bagno. Due super tramonti entrambi i giorni. Camere a cabo vela molto carine, a punta gallinas spartane ma si è davvero in mezzo al nulla. Per ogni pasto diverse possibilità di scelta dei pasti. Ruben, autista eccezionale, molto gentile, ci ha spiegato tante cose. Si vede che ha grande esperienza . Pienamente soddisfatti. Tour fatto in 6 ad un ottimo prezzo

Recomiendo la agencia, muy completa en cuanto a los planes que tienen, los hospedajes, lugares que se realizan las visitas, la gastronomía exquisita y los guías son seres humanos maravillosos, quede muy agradecida con la empatía de José y Agustín quienes fueron muy respetuosos y serviciales. 10/10
