History

Wayuu Culture

Ranchería Utta is an ethnotourism project deeply rooted in the ancestral wisdom of the Wayuu people.

Born from collective effort and guided by the voices of our elders, this 100% Indigenous initiative represents an authentic alternative for cultural hospitality in the heart of Cabo de la Vela.

Every member of our team comes from the community, serving as a guardian of our traditions and an essential part of an experience that goes far beyond accommodation. Here, every guest is welcomed with respect, living stories, and an environment that honors our worldview.

At Ranchería Utta, our service is offered with pride, rooted in our identity and our deep connection to the land.
