ROULETOUT
Mayapo
Season
You may count with winds from December to August with the high season from December to April. Rainy season with almost no winds in October ad November.
Where to stay
There are some guest houses with very simple infrastructure (water is brought by truck, electricity by generator) but Riohacha is just 30 minutes away. Caravans can be parked next to the beach.
Winds
Wind often picks up in the afternoon. Mornings and even early afternoons can be off-shore but often the wind turns to on-shore later in the day.
Important to know
A great source of information is Martin's school (Kite Addict Colombia). You may also rent equipment there and he and his team will look out for you.
Our first kite spot in South America
We arrived in Colombia before our Rouletout and just brought our kites and harnesses. From Martin's school we rented a board for a good week while we waited for our home and enjoyed the kiting while staying in a small hotel in Riohacha. Martin and his team were always very helpful and made sure we felt safe as the winds were sometimes quite unpredictable for us in the beginning. Mayapo has a great beach with plenty of space to launch and land, the open water has some waves but they just add to the fun. We really enjoyed our time there and can only recommend this easy to reach place to which the local Wayuu people add a lot of color.
