Riohacha
The Columbian city of Riohacha was founded in 1535, when colonial Europeans flocked to the area upon the discovery of pearls. Historically, Riohacha was an important port during colonization and independence. The city is firmly entrenched in the Columbian tourism map as a gateway to the sights of La Guajira; recent inputs into tourism however highlight that there is so much more the city can showcase. Your Riohacha tour guide will highly recommend a tour of the Wildlife Sanctuary Los Flamencos. Pack a picnic to enjoy the stunning beaches of Cabo de la Vela, arguably one of the most beautiful in Columbia. Punta Gallinas packs in azure blue seas, mangroves and dunes rippling into the sea. Follow the author Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s settings for Cien Años de Soledad by touring the peninsula of La Guajira. Walk by the Paseo de La Marina to see the beautiful handicrafts of the Wayuu community or simply sit back and enjoy a sunset over the lovely beaches of Riohacha.
