Estación de Servicio Terpel Riohacha La Guajira

This Terpel station on Riohacha’s main avenue serves as the final reliable fuel point before venturing into La Guajira’s desert wilderness. Full-service pumps with diesel, gasoline, and basic automotive fluids, plus a convenience store stocked with water, snacks, and basic supplies. Clean restrooms and tire pressure stations available. Gets busy with overlanders and locals heading to remote indigenous communities.

Located on Avenida Primera near the port area, about 2km from the town center. Open 24 hours but attendant service more reliable during daylight hours. Consider topping off here even if not empty — next reliable fuel is either back in Riohacha or potentially in Uribia, depending on your route into the peninsula.
