In the northernmost part of South America there’s a welcoming paradise where the limits between reality and magic disappear. Colombia is a place where the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean agree to bless the land with breathtaking and inspiring sites, nature, cultures and colors.
Colombia is a kaleidoscope of cultures, races and tradition, where people are cherished for who they are and not for their belongings. Our Spanish, African and Native ancestors all come together to form a country of mystical contrasts…
The Wayuu indigenous community is a valuable part of Colombia’s cultural treasure. Located in the Guajira Peninsula, this precious indigenous ethnic group is the largest in Colombia and is very faithful to their ancestral traditions.
In an effort to protect the Wayuu heritage and to promote their culture worldwide, AuthEtnics brings to you handcrafts of invaluable significance, charm and beauty. Each bag (mochila or katto'ui), bracelet and portemonais has been handmade by members of the Wayuu tribes following traditional techniques that date back to unmemorable times.
