Day 1 → Portete Bay and Turtle Release
We will depart from Riohacha at 5:00 am, heading to the northernmost part of La Guajira, making stops in the desert to admire the landscapes and take photographs. We will visit Bahía Portete, where we will learn about the history of the massacre and the resilience of the Wayuu people, before continuing to Playa La Boquita, where we will enjoy lunch, beach time, and a tour through the mangroves. In the late afternoon, we will meet with the local community to participate in conservation activities such as patrolling, identifying nests, monitoring, and releasing sea turtles. The day will end with a night patrol, a bonfire under the stars, and an opportunity to share stories and experiences with the community.
