Punta Gallinas: The peaceful home of the Wayuu people | WIDE

Originally from Amazonia, the Wayuus are descended from the Arawaks. They settled on the peninsula of Punta Gallinas over 1,000 years ago. These warriors were the only ones to resist the Spanish conquistadors.
And the main reason they have managed to survive in this desert is that these dunes conceal a real treasure: fresh water.
Take a tour of their peaceful home with Jose Gonzales, a guide and member of this inspiring community.
From the film: “A World of Colours - Colombia in Yellow”
Direction: Guy Beauché
Production: ZED & Voyage

How dare you say "the only tribe who resisted the spanish invadors"? There are more than 60 surviving indigenous nations in Colombia. Pls inform yourself, before you post something like this. You are spreading missinformation.
