Ichitki

Ichitki is the Wayuunaiki name of a settlement in the dry Guajira peninsula, in the country of the Wayuu people. Wells, seasonal waterholes and springs are important places in a landscape where rainfall is uncertain. Wayuu families organise their lives through ties of kinship and territory, while routes across the peninsula link inland communities with the coast. Salt from northern Guajira historically travelled along routes towards Ichitki and Riohacha.
