We visited the forgotten fishing village of Cabo de la Vela, Colombia, at the Northern tip of South America. Isolated by desert and rough seas, this region struggles with providing the most basic facilities, from fresh water to electricity. Everyday is a challenge. At the same time, it's a magical place of simple delights, fresh seafood, stunning landscapes, and friendly industrious people. Our friend and guide Luis describes for us the challenges and wonders of living in this remote region.
