Casa Montaña, Serranía del Perijá
The land of flowers and calagualas, the idyllic paradise of La Guajira, located in the foothills of the Serranía del Perijá at 1,600 meters above sea level, is home to Marcelino Torres Molina and his parents on a rural farm. Here, the unique and authentic flavors of Guajira’s Creole cuisine reign, with ingredients sourced from the region itself. In this pleasant climate, the noise of the urban center is replaced by the wind and the songs of birds like toucans, toches, and hummingbirds. Enjoy a coffee made in these valleys.
Atánquez, the Capital of the Kankuamo People:
In the foothills of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, you will meet Enosh Arias, a member of the Kankuamo people, a community almost driven to extinction by colonization. Today, they still preserve their music, gastronomy, and beautiful authentic crafts that reflect a deep connection to nature, ancestral traditions, and the natural environment.
