In Guajira we can highlight among the typical dishes and local food, two exotic fruits: Iguaraya and Papaya.

The Iguaraya: is a typical fruit of the region that is characterized by its intense red color, its sweet and sour flavor. It is the fruit of the cactus. It is mostly used to make juices and cocktails.

The Wayuú Indians highlight some medicinal properties such as: reduce spasms in case of colitis and stomach pain. They also apply it directly to wounds and burns.

Papaya candy: is a perfect dessert and special preparation of the Wayuú people. As we know the Papaya has great nutritional and health properties, such as: lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, aids digestion, improves glucose control, lowers blood pressure and improves wound cauterization.

It contains Zeaxanthin, an antioxidant that filters out harmful blue light rays and may prevent macular degeneration.  It also has beta-carotene which is an antioxidant.
