BEFORE YOU BOOK
A distinctive place to learn
Mayapo sits on Colombia's Caribbean coast in La Guajira. Its warm setting, shallow learning areas and open coastal landscape can create an excellent environment for instruction when wind and weather are suitable.
Conditions can change, so the exact training area and schedule should always be selected by the instructor. KiteAdventure meets students at the Second Beach of Mayapo, Maliwala sector, near Restaurante Sutsha Wayuu.

WHAT TO BRING
Prepare for sun, water and changing conditions
Bring swimwear, a UV-protection shirt, reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, drinking water and comfortable beach clothing. KiteAdventure supplies the kitesurfing and appropriate safety equipment used during your lesson.
RESPECT THE DESTINATION
Travel thoughtfully in La Guajira
Mayapo is a living coastal community, not only a sports location. Follow local guidance, use established services, manage waste carefully and ask before photographing people.
