⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Well, some would say that there is nothing, only a vast arid terrain with rocks and sand. For me, it’s like being in a gigantic painting by Dalí where the distinct lines of the desert sand vanish into infinite golden dunes that plunge into an endless strip of turquoise water. It’s where poverty looks directly into your eyes with a pride that only the Wayúus people have, knowing that they have fought against the Spaniards (were never conquered), the government, and currently mother nature to maintain their traditions alive.

It was Pacho’s Fault. | Fue culpa de Pacho.
Pacho, a Wayúu descent was our 4X4 driver and we had a hard time trusting him. Why? The 1st day after watching the sunset at the desert, he started the SUV with a suspicious clicking sound. Yep, Pachito forgot to put gas. Thing is, this region doesn’t have gas stations. People sell it in 2-liter bottles at the side of the road, road that we had left behind 2hrs before entering Cabo.

I opted for the hammock not only because I thought sleeping under the stars with a …

|ENG| After 30-40mins hike, picking up/trowing out countless pebbles and crossing 5 goats chilling by the cliff, we discovered the natural pools by an area locals call the “washing machine”. We stared for a while the magnificent view then looked down to figure out how to climb down these giants multicolor rocks that surrounded the 2 natural pools.I made it first and just like Tom Sawyer, (the cartoon character- Hi my 80’s people ) would do, I took my cloth off and rushed to get into the water!!
