I took the following information from here:

http://www.colombia.com/colombiainfo/parquesnaturales/macuira.asp

"Llegar al parque Macuira es sencillo. Desde Riohacha, capital de la Guajira, se toma la vía a Maicao y a la altura del desvío denominado "Cuatro vías", se toma la carretera que conduce a Uribia. A continuación se viaja hasta Puerto Portete. A partir de allí se toma una serie de trochas que llevan a Nazareth, ubicada en el piedemonte de la Serranía. El recorrido toma entre seis y ocho horas en vehículo de doble tracción. En época de invierno el sistema de trochas se pone muy difícil de transitar. Mayor información en la Unidad Administrativa Especial del Sistema de Parques Nacionales, del Ministerio del Medio Ambiente, ubicada en Bogotá (Carrera 10 N. 20-30 piso 4. Teléfonos: 2431634 - 2433095)."
