Mayapo
Mayapo is undoubtedly the most idyllic spot on the Colombian Caribbean coast. Located about twenty kilometers north of Riohacha, this small wayuu village borders a vast turquoise bay where the wind blows almost all year round. The golden dunes and crystal-clear waters create a breathtaking backdrop, worthy of the Caribbean lagoons. It is a place where simplicity reigns: palm huts, smiling fishermen, and a relaxed atmosphere. The spot is perfect for all levels – from beginners discovering kitesurfing to experienced riders training in flat water in a peaceful and wild environment.
