Information about specific dates is best found closer to your travel dates through local sources.

What are the best pet friendly hotels in La Guajira?
Are there any unknown or hidden places that should be on your list in La Guajira, Colombia?

La Guajira has a desert climate, with intense sun and high temperatures. Sun protection is essential. Strong winds are common, especially around Cabo de la Vela and Punta Gallinas.
