Colombia is a country that dazzles with its landscapes, biodiversity, its gastronomy and diverse cultures. It is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific Ocean, the Amazon jungle and the Orinoco basin and the Andes.

To the north is Punta Gallinas, which is the northernmost tip of Colombia and all of South America. It is located at the northern end of the La Guajira Peninsula, in the department of the same name. It stands out for its mixture of desert and sea.

Travelers recommend avoiding going to this destination in October/November due to the rains that make access very difficult.

What is the route to get there?

To get to Punta Gallinas there are no paved roads, which is why you can only get there by 4×4 car or camel. Different blogs have emphasized that all legal tours leave from Riohacha. Although you may find this service leaving Uribia.
