Description
Are you ready to discover the city where the Caribbean Sea embraces the desert and literature becomes reality?
Join me on this Free Walking Tour through the historic center of Riohacha, the mystical gateway to La Guajira. Designed exclusively for curious travelers, this walking tour will take you through a perfect circular route, optimized to discover the soul of one of the oldest Hispanic cities in America without wearing yourself out under the tropical sun.
We will start in the shade of Plaza Padilla, where we will unravel the fascinating history of pirates, pearls, and naval heroes who forged the destiny of these coasts, guarded by the mythical Cathedral of Our Lady of Remedies and the legend of its marine miracle.
At the pier, you will surely be fascinated to interact with the Wayuu indigenous people, who will teach you and offer their handcrafted products made with their diligent hands that inherited the best ancestral techniques. Perhaps, you will dare to weave in their best style!
After walking through iconic places, full of fascinating legends, we will close with a flourish at the impressive Monument to Los Embarradores, the most joyful and cathartic carnival tradition of the Caribbean, before returning via Carrera Cuarta, the old republican commercial axis where Syrian-Lebanese migrants transformed the local architecture.
You will appreciate my professionalism and dedication to you at the end of the tour. You will have fun!
