Description
Three men in military attire, sit on large bags in the back of a military vehicle. A Wayuu woman is walking next to the vehicle. La Guajira is a department (similar to what would be identified as a state) in the northeast region of Colombia. It occupies an area bordered by Venezuela and the Caribbean Sea. Riohacha is the capital of La Guajira. La Guajira is known for its deserts, Caribbean coastal regions, sand dunes, fishing villages and its indigenous people (such as the Wayuu people).
