During the trip we had to La Guajira we could
In order to organize your trip to Guajira, you have to be aware of how much it will cost. For most tourists the prices will sound cheap, but cheap does not mean bad. We can start by saying that the cost of the plane ticket is 260.000 pesos in Avianca (round trip), a very good flight company. As soon as you reach Riohacha, you need to get 4x4 jeeps with a tourist or person from the zone in order to transport around Guajira. The cost varies, so it is better to ask the driver before getting in the car. Gas is very cheap but there are no gas stations, drivers know where to go, a gallon cost about 3.000 pesos. There are specific places were tourist are recommended to go; Punta Gallinas, Parque nacional de flora y fauna los flamingos, Cabo de la Vela, and Riohacha. These places are organized for tourists, were to eat and were to sleep. Guajira is not at all a comfortable place but compared to what you see, it is worth it. Some of the best places to sleep in these recommended sites are: · Punta Gallinas: $20.000- 35.000 · Cabo de la Vela: $ 10.000-30.000 food included · Rioacha: $17.000 · Parque nacional de flora y fauna los flamingos (boca camarones):chinchorro $10.000 night Colombian $14.000 studen $ 6.000 · Villa del Mar: $20.000 ( local person) $30.000
Most of these places called “rancherías” are made from clay or from little sticks joined together, these sticks are taken from the inside of the cactus, they are called Yotojoro. They have all of this available for them free and the land in which they make these places has always been theirs, by theirs we mean the Indians which manage these places (they are called Wayúu). It is not easy to get things taken into this places so people have to survive and use what they have available. Food given to people is mostly fish because you are surrounded by water, making it easy to get. These is where you can find delicious food: · (Boca camarones): $30.000( 3 foods included) · Parque nacional de flora y fauna los flamingos: · (Riohacha) Ranchería Divi Divi: $20.000 - 30.000 · (Cabo de la Vela) Ranchería Utta: $10.000- 35.000
For these Indians there is not much of a problem with obtaining their clothes or education because their tribe teaches them as they grow and their clothes and utensils are made by them with wool. Electricity and water are the problem for them, water only arrives once every week and a reduced amount for each place. Electricity is hard to find, but some of these people have made interesting treaties with factories like “El Cerrejón” and “Refisal”, which buy their products or use their work in their benefit and as pay they supply them with electricity.
ps : we had to post it from my account since maria paula didnt know how to put it in hers , but the 2 of us worked on it.
