The 5 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Providencia Island, San Andres and Providencia Department
Providencia Island’s nickname: The Sea of Seven Colors. A visit to McBean Lagoon National Natural Park is really all you need for the quintessential island experience. It’s an otherworldly place where mangroves sway over waters that sparkle every shade of blue. Local fishermen will happily take you on an island tour or even to wrangle the day’s catch. Lounge on peaceful white sand beaches or take a romantic stroll across the wooden “Lovers Bridge” that leads to neighboring Santa Catalina island.

We visited the lighthouse in february 2019 and were so happy to have been to this place. The owner of the lighthouse showed some very interesting movies about diferent aspects of the island of Providencia (animals, language, history, music). The movies were very interesting and beautiful produced (with local artists). In addition to the ‘old’ programm we could even see the newest movieproduction, which starts in this season. Thanks a lot to the owners for this great experience!
