Rural women in this region form part of Afro and indigenous Wayuu communities, which maintain culinary and agricultural traditions and customs on their grazing lands or settlements. Rural women in La Guajira are in charge of food, traditional woven fabrics and families. Customs they struggle to preserve on a daily basis.
