A woman plucking chicken in a market in Guajira, Colombia. She is sitting on the ground on a wooden box while other chickens walk next to the box.

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).
