Buena Onda at El Horno
CommentToday was amazing! Buena Onda got to hangout at El Horno, which is a local Wayuu rancheria. El Horno means "The Oven." Let me tell you, it was hot! La Guajira is an extremely dry and arid area of Colombia. However, we were able to keep cool by swimming in the ocean which was about a kilometer walk from El Horno. We also got to see how Wayuu Mochilas are made at El Horno. We would like to give a big thanks to Amelia's family for giving us a wonderful Wayuu experience!

Wayuu Rancheria
1 CommentThis house is a typical Wayuu design. It is made of earth and logs. The La Guarija terrain is extremely arid and dry. The Wayuu congregate in communities called Wayuu Rancherias. It is here at the famous Wayuu mochila is made by hand.
How do you make a Wayuu Mochila?
CommentWayuu mochilas are not made on a loom. That means that, every pattern is carefully planned out in advance. Once the pattern is chosen the Wayuu woman will use a counting process that allows her to execute the design. In this video you will see how Amelia constructs a perfect pattern. Wayuu mochilas are truly a work of art!
Buena Onda in the Kitchen
CommentThe Wayuu kitchen is where you can find fresh fish being cooked up on a daily bases. Basic Wayuu diets consist of goats, rice, corn, yucca, and fish. Most of the diets depend on where exactly in La Guajira the Wayuu live. For example, if the Wayuu Rancheria is close to the Carribean Coastline then their diet would consist more of fish and seafood. Whereas the rancherias further inland consist of goats and chickens.
Buena Onda and the Mid-West Night Fly
CommentBuena Onda was in St. Louis this week for the Mid-West Night Fly Event. A first year water sports festival that was unlike any other. It was a perfect event for waterskiers, wakeboarders, and water enthusasts alike. Not to mention, a great opportunity for Buena Onda to get some exposure on our Wayuu mochilas and products. Thank you so much Mid-West Night Fly for having us!
