    Well organized and very nice tour. The accommodation and food are excellent. It would have been nice to have more information about the Wayuu culture. Also, the car is not very comfortable for those behind. In any case, a wonderful experience. Thanks to Miguel, always smiling and helpful! :)

    The tour has been precisely organized and is never a sin of efficiency and punctuality. The driver Miguel was super nice and helpful. Great credit for the facilities and catering that exceeded expectations :) The only sore point was the lack of information during the tour... otherwise perfect.

  • Excellent and interesting tour!

    This was a really interesting and unique experience! I saw beautiful nature- lots of desert and beaches and bioluminescent waters. I also got to learn about the Wayuu people's history and traditions. Their current socioeconomic context seems quite complex but I really appreciated how thoughtful History Travelers is about engaging in responsible tourism and development and working with the Wayuu people. Also the people from the agency texted and checked in throughout the trip, which was extra appreciated as a solo traveler. Overall, History Travelers went above and beyond and offered much more than similar agencies.

  • Beautiful scenery and interesting insights into the life of the Wayúu

    We really liked the tour. You can get interesting insights into the life of the natives and explore the fascinating landscape of Guajira. For a small extra charge you can even sandboard in the desert and do a bioluminescent tour, which was really impressive. Even sleeping in the hammocks was amazingly cozy. All guides and our driver were very friendly and accommodating. Also the price-performance ratio is very fair. However, with disc problems you should not do the tour, as there are no paved roads. All in all, we would highly recommend the tour.

  • Well, ugly and to get better.

    Very satisfied with this excursion. The scenery is beautiful. I didn't expect much better when I watched videos. Ask Chiwi as a driver, very friendly, helpful and competent regarding driving in the desert. Go ahead with your eyes closed you won't regret it.
