Accommodatie

Accommodations in La Guajira are simple, rustic, and reflect the region's remote and untouched charm. Since it is a relatively undeveloped area, guests can expect basic, yet comfortable, lodging options that offer an authentic experience. You will stay in small eco-lodges directly on the beach, where you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

Many of these accommodations are designed to offer guests a sense of connection to the natural surroundings, with open-air common areas, hammocks for relaxation, and breathtaking views of the desert and sea.

In these remote settings, you'll feel as if you've stepped into a different world, one where simplicity and nature reign, and you'll be surrounded by the beauty of La Guajira's deserts and seas.

A trip to the remoteness of La Guajira Colombia is truly unique. Keep in mind that you will be going to a desert with limited water and electricity but with lots of wind. It is very rustic so accommodation is in simple rooms with no airconditioning, limited fresh water, and network connection.
