Day 2 Spot la Laguna
Day 3 Downwind la Laguna > La Boquita
Day 4 Big waves at Taroa for those interested
Day 5 Kite in the morning then return to Riohacha

What to expect

4 Spots

La Laguna: a 3-minute walk from the Luz de Mila rancheria, with flat water and offshore winds.
La Boquita: accessible downwind from La Laguna, with conditions similar to La Laguna, flat water, offshore winds, and a large beach in the background.
Punta Aguja: this spot is open to the sea and has small waves, but it is still easy to kite.
Las Dunas de Taroa: this spot, accessible by 4x4, is ideal for experienced kitesurfers looking for big waves.

D1: Gentle start

The group leaves Riohacha at 5am. Check-in at the Luz Mila Rancheria is scheduled for about 11am. After lunch, it's off for the first free kite session in the Laguna for advanced kiteboarders and classes for beginners.

D2: Here we go

The day is divided into 2 kitesurfing sessions in the Laguna (morning and afternoon). In between, you can nap in a chinchorro by the beach and drink a fresh beer.

At the end of the day, head to El Faro to admire the sunset.

D3: Downwind session

It's time to organize a downwind excursion to reach La Boquita Beach and Punta Aguja. The less experienced go first, and the lifeboat always stays close by.

In the afternoon, enjoy another kitesurfing session at La Boquita. There is a new class for beginners.

D4: Big waves or not

Today, the group splits up. The more experienced can go kitesurfing in the Taroa dunes (big waves), and the others can go on taking classes / having fun in front of Luz Mila. If you're tired of kitesurfing, you can plan a visit to the dunes or the lighthouse.

D5: Early morning session and return

If the road back is in good condition (not too muddy), doing an early morning kite session is possible. In general, however, everyone is tired and wants to return to Riohacha.

Our review

Why choose this option:

To kite some incredible spots, reputed to be among the best in Colombia for their riding conditions.
Spots for all tastes and levels: flat water, downwind, small waves, big waves.
You'll enjoy kitesurfing in a wild and breathtaking setting and experience a great human and sporting adventure.

All the logistics are handled (transport, lifeboat, accommodation, food), so all you have to do is enjoy the ride.

What may disappoint:

This is not a tourist or cultural trip. You'll visit a few sites around Punta Gallinas, but the main aim is to kite.
Accommodation is very basic, although you can have a bed. That's the price for being away from everything in such a unique environment.
