This remote desert beach lies on the western edge of the Guajira Peninsula, in the far northeastern part of Colombia, bordering the Caribbean Sea. The region is part of the Wayuu Indigenous territory, and a small Wayuu fishing village sits near the shoreline, where locals live in simple huts and rely on fishing, goat herding, and artisan crafts for subsistence. Access to Cabo de La Vela can only be reached by unpaved dirt roads from the town of Uribia, about 2 to 3 hours away and has limited services such as hammocks or rustic lodging for overnight stays. Cabo de La Vela is a tour bus destination. Nearby landmarks include Pilón de Azúcar, a sacred hill offering panoramic views of the desert and coastline.
