Nazareth, Indigenous settlement in La Guajira Peninsula, Colombia
Located in northern Colombia, Nazareth functions as an administrative center for the Wayuu indigenous group in the La Guajira Desert region.
The settlement emerged during the 20th century as a gathering point for Wayuu clans, establishing permanent structures in the arid peninsula landscape.
The Wayuu people maintain their traditional system of leadership through community representatives who handle local governance and dispute resolution.
Nazareth contains basic services, a health center, and educational facilities serving the surrounding Wayuu communities in the upper Guajira region.
The settlement patterns reflect traditional Wayuu spatial organization, with family compounds spread across the territory according to clan affiliations.
