A Look into the Past so as Not to Forget My Roots

Thirst in La Guajira, Colombia

La Guajira is a semi-arid region surrounded by a diversity of reliefs; mountains, dunes, savannahs and desert. Thirst in La Guajira is not a new issue, it is an ancient situation like Wayuu itself, which since time immemorial has adapted to its habitat.

Mercedes is an old Wayuu woman who lives in jalaala, half a guajira, where heat and sun prevail in a desert of white stones.
