Allobates wayuu is a species of frog in the Aromobatidae family. It is endemic to northern Colombia where it is only known from its type locality in the Serranía de Macuira, Parque Nacional Natural de Macuira, La Guajira Department.[2] It inhabits tropical forest with dry vegetation, including secondary forest. The eggs are deposited on the forest floor. The male carries the hatched tadpoles to streams and ponds where they complete their development.[1]
