Snaps from Colombia
La Guajira - Mad Max, Salt Flats, & the Indigenous
The Guajira Peninsula is South America's most northern jutting into the Carribean.
As such, having visited Ushuaia in the South, it was only a matter of time before it
started calling to me. The land is dry, sparsely populated, and conveniently
not even mapped by the Colombia Lonely Planet. In roadside huts reminiscent of Mad Max
the indigenous Wayru wear clothes that look more like Africa than South America. They
speak their own language, Wayu, and aren't exactly highly sociable. These photos come
from two major stops -- the salt cultivation at Lxxxxx, and the tourist ghost town of
Cabo de la Vela (during low season). Other travelers found their way there too, and
we all just marveled at how weird the place is.
