to get started.

We really enjoyed the short movies and talk about Wayuu culture and history organized after dinner. We were very pleased to learn more about the heritage of the people inhabiting the Guajira peninsula, and also to better understand their current issues.

Miguel, Colombia

We liked the setting, the originality and the comfort of the place. You can have your own private beach (not super pretty and all, but nice and chill). It’s a bit far from the city, but it makes it calm and enjoyable.

Xavier, France

The place is run by indigenous people who also sell bags, bracelets etc. You can only pay with cash, so bring enough if you plan on purchasing anything - there are no ATMs. The place is outside of Cabo, but only a 20min walk from the lighthouse from where you can watch the sunset. It's right by the beach, so the views are nice and the water is calm. There are some sharp rocks, though, so better wear sandals when you go into the water.

Bellissima posizione a pochi passi dal mare e immersa nel deserto della Guajira: in pochi minuti di macchina é possibile raggiungere spiagge bellissime e apprezzare panorami mozzafiato. Discreto il ristorante, lo staff è piuttosto cortese.

Claudia, Colombia

Las habitaciones guardan el estilo de las rancherías y han mejorado mucho desde hace 13 años que conocí el cabo de la vela. EL paisaje sigue siendo encantador. Admiro la capacidad de tener un buen restaurante y limpias las habitaciones, al menos el día de la llegada, dado las condiciones tan difíciles para encontrar agua en la Guajira

The staff was always slow to react, on their phone. We needed a moto-taxi, they were not able to call one. The room is extremely hot at night...

Recieved a call cancelling my reservation 15 day prior to the trip, had to call and re-arrange the booking which finally stood firm, but a bit disorderlly in that aspect.

It's outside of town. Sometimes you have water to shower, sometimes you don't. Well, you're in the desert, so be prepared. 😊
