Cabo de la Vela Lighthouse

7 reviews of Cabo de la Vela Lighthouse

a Lighthouse that acts as a guide for navigators

Revel in the Cape, is History is for the traditions of the indigenous Wayuu, since they guess that is where they in the afterlife, the souls of the dead. The place has a lighthouse that acts as a guide for navigators. The geographical location of Cabo de la Vela allowed it to become a historical place for its fishing industry, which is exhausted currnently, it is said out there in an iron mine, its coral reefs, the lovely stone that retains its value. The headland forming it is a spur of the mountains of carpenters, emerging coiled to form the lovely cove. This promontory served at the time of the conquest of guidance to ships coming from Mexico and the Orinoco, on the way to land, washed by the Caribbean.

During the colony it acted as a port of call to the ships traveling to Spain back from there to Santo Domingo, the Darien, Panama, Cuba and Central America. Out front of the islet is Farallon, a rock beaten by the waves whose edges act as perches and nests to flocks of seabirds. This rock, by the whiteness of guano, beaten by the sun, look like one of the snowy peaks of the Sierra de Santa Marta, also the rock is similar to Morro de Santa Marta in scale.

Avec le pilon de azucar, le phare de Cabo de la Vela fait office de second lie touristique immanquable au milieu du désert de la Guajira côté colombien. Si aujourd'hui il fait plus office de monument historique que de phare véritable, on peut y venir au coucher du soleil pour s'offrir l'une des plus vues de sa vie et accessoirement, s'il n'y a pas trop de touristes, l'un des moments les plus romantiques également.
With pestle azucar, the lighthouse at Cabo de la Vela serves as second unmistakable tourist binds to the desert side of the Colombian Guajira. If today there is more office than real monument lighthouse, you can come at sunset to offer one of the views of his life and incidentally, if there is not too much tourists, one of the most romantic times also.
