That depends where you’ll be wandering. Downtown Riohacha, about 19 miles from Riohacha Airport (RCH-Almirante Padilla), can be a bit tricky to drive around. Make life easy by renting something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. That being said, Riohacha is a handy base from which to explore some of the dunes around La Guajira. If your escape is more about clocking up those miles, you may want something with a little more trunk space and room to move about. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
