What do we do?

We promote La Guajira, and connect tourists, businesses and locals.

How do we do it?

Through our website and the sale of our products.

How do we finance ourselves?

With the sales of our products of the highest quality.

We are a group of young guajiros that seeks to break paradigms through education, technology, innovation and design.

We are entrepreneurs and agents of change. We seek to develop capacities in young people and communities by creating spaces that allow their empowerment. Everything we do, we do because we love La Guajira and because we believe that an educated, prosperous and articulated department is possible.

Asawaa is a social enterprise. We seek to solve, through an innovative business model, a problem that La Guajira has: the lack of articulation of the tourism sector. We work so that more people understand the diversity of La Guajira and to provide information on tourist offers, so that tourists can easily access the unique experiences offered by the department.
