13 February 2021 (IWGIA) La Guajira is a unique place. Located in the northern-most part of Colombia, it borders on the Caribbean Sea and features a desert landscape adorned with the rare vegetation of the dry, subtropical forest.

trumpillos. Likewise, the comforts of Western civilization also fade out as one gets farther from the coast.
