The northernmost tip in South America. Stunning Caribbean beaches. Giant sand dunes. Colombia’s largest indigenous population (the Wayuu). You’ll find all this and more on a tour to the remote and isolated La Guajira.
Getting here isn’t easy, but it is so worth the trouble to visit Colombia’s wild northeast.
After visiting San Pedro de Atacama, I thought I was heading straight to Salta and spending my days drinking Malbec. So yeah, that didn’t happen. Luckily, a friendly local heard the panic in my voice at the bus station and suggested a few places north of Santiago I could stop at. So, naturally, I bought a ticket to Caldera on the spot with no research.
Northern Chile is often skipped, and instead people will hop on a 24 hour bus (or a cheap flight) down to Santiago. However, if you have the time, I recommend heading down the coast and seeing an often skipped (but beautiful and worthwhile!) portion of Chile.
