Awatawaa Ecolodge is located in La Guajira province on a small peninsula with the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Cienaga de Mababita on the other, a lagoon where numerous bird species, including flamingos, gather due to the large amount of fish. From your bungalow you walk straight into the sea, while you are surrounded by countless pelicans, herons, ibises and crabs.

Awatawaa Ecolodge has 6 bungalows, all located directly on the beach. The houses are made of wood and have a nice terrace where you can relax in one of the beanbags or chairs. The beds are great and the bathroom in spacious, nice and in the open-air. Just keep in mind that there is no light (but there is electricity), meaning you have to work with candles and flashlights in the evening. Something that adds to the experience in my opinion.

The lovely team of Awatawaa Ecolodge prepares three daily meals for you, that are served at tables on the beach. And in the evening everything is beautifully lit with torches.

You can go for endless birdwatching around the lodge. But you can also explore La Guajira, an interesting province with three national parks and many indigenous communities. The team can help you with tours such as a sailing trip through the flamingo reserve and a visit to a indigenous Wayuu community.
