Folk story

According to the stories of the Wayuu indigenous culture, there were three brothers, the offspring of an important chieftain, who decided to flip the guajira, the first rested on the sides of Uribía and became determined not to follow the arduous trek and sat down to rest, fell asleep and became the hill of Teta. The other 2 brothers followed along the guajira, experiencing many adventures in unknown places and reached the northern tip of the peninsula and decided to return looking the sea. Their strength was weak and the second brother decided he should sit and lay down in the desert. He also fell into a deep sleep and became the Serrania de la Mucuira.

The third brother continued his solitary journey and after sailing arrived at the cape. At this point thirst was taking over, he found the water in the Cape. Now tired he refreshed himself and like his two brothers fell asleep, eventually becoming the Pilon de Azucar. These are the most important elevations of Guajira. My friend Jose Gonzales told me this story when he accompanied me throughout the guajira. It was 23 years ago when we drove this itinerary to the stores for the people living in the Wayuu indigenous community. Covenio FUNDICAR - Yanama - Carbocol - Intercur.
