It completely exceeded my expectations! - Apart from knowing this beautiful region and visiting its beaches, you will meet and work with wonderful people with a great passion for animals. You will help vulnerable little animals 🐶🐱 and spend too much time with the children of the Wayuu community. You will leave with a full heart ❤️‍🩹 and eager to come back! Also, the house is beautiful and very comfortable and the food delicious. 🫶🏼

Love + Strength 🩵 - I recommend Anawa 100%. Amazing team, quick response and a spectacular home (10/10). But the best thing about it was living the experience of traveling with purpose.

Saving animals in La Guajira, the best experience as a couple - A very significant journey. Anawa is an amazing foundation with a great work in the Guajira. It’s an opportunity where we not only enjoy what the region has to offer, but also connect in a genuine way with the community. We participate in a very rewarding days and provide help to animals in difficult conditions. We leave with a full heart and very happy to be able to meet an organization so committed to transforming communities through tourism.

ANAWA is not just a project, it is transformation, love and purpose. - If you want to live a transformative experience I assure you that this project is for you. It is not only a project, it is a family made up of wonderful beings, good vibes and charged with energy, that not only renews and comforts the lives of thousands of animals in the guajira, but also of those who visit them. From the moment you arrive you will be greeted by rescued dogs who look at you only with love eyes for visiting them, who hug your legs and play with you, some of them will run with the luck that you give a bath and fill you with water, love and many hairs. Then in the house you meet people who welcome you with a smile and make you feel welcome as when you come from a long trip and they were waiting for you. You’ll sleep in a house that feels like you’re at home, like you’re with your family and you’ll sit down after a long day laughing and learning through the experience of the whole team. The whole house has air, which is a mega plus as the heat can be somewhat exhausting! And after a delicious sleep, start all the action helping little animals that need it. It was amazing before my eyes as people in the community who may not have much, were willing to give what they had for helpless beings. I have always said that there is more joy in giving than in receiving and ANAWA confirms that. Finally you also have contact with the children and if you allow it you can reconcile a part with your inner child, since you will learn that a smile and that joy, will not only depend on your environment, but that it will be you who decide how to live every day. Additionally, you will understand that as an adult you can positively impact the life of a little boy who in a couple of years can also love and care for the animals that you do. I ended my experience with a heart full of love, with a smile from ear to ear, completely transformed and knowing that outside, there are many people who can see you as a hero and it doesn’t take much to do it, just desire and will.

Anawa experience - “Whoever feeds a hungry animal feeds his own soul” Charles Chaplin Coming to know a part of the Guajira through the Anawa Experience, is the best way to do it: You enjoy seeing a new place, seeing the sea and enjoying the beach, while collaborating to improve the quality of life of thousands of animals and their surroundings. It is to have the opportunity to have 100% close contact with the little animals, to heal and heal with them, to give them love and always enjoy their company, while enjoying the beautiful landscapes you find in the Guajira, accompanied by a special group of people who put all the heart to attend to you in your stay while showing you the thousands of beautiful things they do for the animals and their environment! It is a unique experience that you have to live it to see how magical it is!! Thank you Anawa for this opportunity!

We are the footprints we left - I congratulate Anawa for articulating tourism to such a noble cause, thus making it possible to see the pressing needs of this region of our country, which is full of contrasts. Without a doubt it was a very enriching experience at all levels that also allowed me to meet wonderful people with whom I hope to do many beautiful things again for the animals that need it so much. I also thank Anawa for supporting the rescues of several children without their support it would not have been possible to get them out of that hell. ❤️❤️❤️
