Punta Gallinas is the extreme north of Colombia and South America, an impressive natural setting of plateaus, dunes and rocky cliffs, which emerge from the sea, hugging the beautiful Bahía Hondita. Its exotic beaches and mangrove belts keep the charm of the virgin and lonely place where the essence of the elements is revealed. Get ready to have a life experience that will reveal you, a way of life woven of dreams, fishing jobs and herding flocks.

The road is exposed and dusty. Permanent sun and constant heat during the day and a little cold during the night. There are no conventional hotels, and the accommodation is carried out in the Wayuu communities visited.
Due to the travel conditions, it is not recommended for small children or older adults with chronic health problems. However, there are health services (hospitals) in Uribía, Manaure, and Maicao and health posts in Puerto Bolívar, Paraíso, and Cabo de la Vela.

SPECIAL RECOMMENDATION
With the increase in tourist activity in recent seasons, the frequency of informal tolls, raised with ropes by indigenous children asking for water, food and money, has also increased. We understand that this situation can be uncomfortable for tourists, due to their large number on the road and the conditions of the children, but it must be understood as part of the reality of this autonomous indigenous territory, governed by its norms and customs. To address this situation, the guides and drivers of the route, as part of their activity, take food to distribute and it is also possible, if the visitors agree and it seems convenient, to participate by buying products that they consider suitable for children and their families.
