En Punta Gallinas encontramos un faro (que en realidad es una torre de metal de 18 metros) y las

ruinas de lo que solia ser un faro para guiar a los españoles cuando llegaban en sus barcos para
buscar perlas. Hoy en dia, esas ruinas son una pared donde esta marcando el mapa de sudamerica
son la ubicación y coordenadas del lugar en dos idiomas: español y wayuunaiki, el idioma de los
indígenas Wayúus que habitan la península de La Guajira.

In Punta Gallinas we found a lighthouse (which is actually an 18-meter metal tower) and the ruins
of what used to be a lighthouse to guide the Spanish when they arrived in their boats to search for
pearls. Today, these ruins are a wall where the map of South America is marking the location and
coordinates of the place in two languages: Spanish and Wayuunaiki, the language of the Wayúus
indigenous people who inhabit the La Guajira peninsula.

Trips to Guainía are the perfect opportunity to visit the Cerros de Mavecure, share with indigenous

communities and appreciate beautiful landscapes of jungle and savanna. You can enjoy the

refreshing waters of pipes that are born in the jungle, appreciate the mouth of the Guaviare,

Atabapo and Inirída rivers or spend the night in a nature reserve on the banks of the Orinoco.

The Cerros de Mavicure or Mavecure are a set of three monoliths located in the southeast of
Colombia, more specifically 50 km south of the city of Inírida, on the homonymous river. They
belong to the Guiana Massif, and have an approximate height of 250 m on average.1

The complex consists of three hills: Pajarito, Mono and Mavicure (170, 480 and 712 meters high,
respectively), 2 that can only be accessed by river; travel time is two hours on average.3

These hills are considered one of the main tourist attractions in the department of Guainía, they
are located right in the middle of the Puinave indigenous reserve of El Remanso, 3 and are
represented on the department's coat of arms.4 In February 2015, the Cerro Pajarito was
ascended for the second time in its history by Argentine mountaineers Damián Benegas, Pablo
Passera and Nils Bailey. The previous time was in 1992, by a German expedition. Unlike that time,
when it took two days to climb it, the Argentines reached the summit and descended on the same
day.

Nuquí Beach

Guachalito, Coquí, Joví, Termales and Morromico are the names of some of the beaches and
townships that make up a paradise called Nuquí, a municipality in the department of Chocó on the
shores of the Pacific, where sea and jungle merge in one of the most spectacular scenery of
Colombian nature.

It is located south of Bahía Solano and is surrounded by rivers that end in the waters of the Pacific
Ocean. It is a place as magical as whale watching that can be appreciated there. It is a natural
paradise full of scenery, Caribbean flavor and a rich fun gastronomy.

El Castillo Museum.
A place I would like to visit is the El Castillo Museum, from the moment I saw it I was very curious because of
its facade, I hope to visit it someday not too far away. It is a 1930's gothic construction that houses in its two
floors the finest expression of universal art.
The place is located in the El Poblado neighborhood and they say that the best way to get there is by public
transportation in the city.  Upon arrival, visitors are taken on a tour of its 14 rooms, including the Colonial
Room, which is especially dedicated to music, the Louis XV Hall, the Gobelins Hall, the Hall of Azaleas, the
library and the bedrooms.
You will also be able to appreciate the temporary exhibitions and the concerts offered within its facilitie s. In
addition it will be possible to know the School of Art, where they dictate workshops and courses on literature,
ballet, music and crafts.
Outside the museum you can contemplate the gardens and its French style fountain, you can also enjoy a tour
of the surroundings of one of the attractions of Medellin, Colombia.
