Cabo de la Vela
Cabo is one of the most consistent wind spots in South America – with perfect conditions from December to August, and flat water that’s ideal for learning, freestyle, racing and Big Air.
But it’s more than just a kite destination. It’s a feeling. A lifestyle.
A place to disconnect, breathe, and find your flow.
A magical mix of desert, ocean and culture.
The place
Cabo de la Vela sits on the La Guajira peninsula and is home to the indigenous Wayuu people. Life here follows the rhythm of nature: sun, wind and sea.
What makes Cabo so special:
Cabo is simple and authentic — no big hotels, no parties, no crowds.
Just nature, silence, and perfect wind.
