5 Day Punta Gallinas Motorcycle Tour

Rarely visited by the average traveler, and certainly not on motorcycles, Punta Gallinas is considered to be one of the most exotic destinations in Colombia. From the rolling sand dunes and turquoise water to the sacred indigenous cultures. There are plenty of local attractions to keep us busy for the day. The riding today is epic. Flat out over hard, sandy plains, ducking in and out between cactus fields and rocky mountain climbs are the order of the day.

The Native Expedition Through The Guajira Desert

This expedition is the authentic connection we create between the traveler, the land, and its people. This is not a massive or rushed tour: it is a private experience, guided by a native of the region who shares with us not only the Wayuu history and culture, but also the daily life of the desert, its unique biodiversity, and the most remote and tranquil landscapes of La Guajira. We avoid crowded routes, stay in uncrowded places, and travel without haste, but with intention. Our mission is for each visitor to feel part of the territory, not just as a spectator, but as an honored guest.
