Upon arrival at the ranchería, you will begin the day with the preparation and tasting of friche, one of the most representative dishes of Wayúu gastronomy, made from goat meat. This gastronomic experience is accompanied by the tasting of chirrinchi, a traditional artisanal drink that is usually shared in celebrations within the community.
A unique opportunity to connect with the authentic flavors of La Guajira and learn about the cultural meaning behind each preparation.
Next, you will enjoy a live presentation of the Yonna dance, a powerful Wayúu cultural expression loaded with symbolism, where men and women of the community represent ancestral rituals through movement.
