General Description

The visitor can enjoy the quietness of the clear blue skies of La Guajira peninsula, interrupted only by intensely pink skies spiraling over the lagoons of the Sanctuary. It is the sight of flocks of flamingos, the slender birds from which the protected area derives its name. The graceful flamingos and the majestic color for their plumage are the main attraction of the Sanctuary, which, despite its small extension, is considered one of the most diverse of the protected areas in terms of its variety of aquatic resident and migratory birds.
