Workation in Palomino: the essentials
The Sierra Nevada comes close to the Caribbean at Palomino, a village along the coastal highway in La Guajira, about 70 km from Santa Marta and 90 km from Riohacha. It grew from a backpacker stop into a strip of hostels and eco-lodges known for yoga, tubing down the Palomino River and long, empty beaches where the surf makes swimming hard. Remote workers come in the dry season and rent guesthouse rooms or cabañas, with a coworking-style café as a fallback. Life is rustic: power and water cuts happen and the mosquitoes are constant. Simón Bolívar airport at Santa Marta is about 74 km away.
