the guajira is the most northern part of south america and borders venezuela in the east. of colombia called the wayuu. the wayuu are a tough, autonomous tribe who've never taken sides with either the government, the farc, or the paramilitaries. as a result, they remain independent politically and live pretty much by their own code. i'm meeting juan pablo mayorga, a chef from bogota who comes to this spot on a regular basis. this is not another country. this is colombia. uh, but it's a very different part of colombia. >> juan: the guajira is a very rugged terrain. it's desert. uh, there's not that much water. so, that's part of why the spaniards, they weren't able to colonize them. >> anthony: you've been coming here for some time. >> juan: i became very interested in guajira because i began dealing with, uh, fresh fish, and, uh, fresh lobster, fresh shrimp. and for, uh, goat meat to take back to bogota. >> anthony: is it good? >> juan: it's very good. >> anthony: goats are important to the wayuu, as they're used for food, for bartering, and even as dowry payments. rancho
