Things to do in San Andres Island, San Andres and Providencia Department: The Best Nature & Parks
The coral island of San Andres is a diverse ecosystem of reefs, geysers, groves, and cays. Needless to say, it’s perfect for diving, snorkeling, and outdoor exploring. This paradise has multicolored warm waters and 12 mangrove forests, and the beach cedars of Johnny Cay are like natural condos for beach birds. Keep an eye out for overlooked pirate treasure at Morgan’s Cave before chowing down on rondón, a signature Caribbean dish of fish, pork, conch, plantain and coconut milk.

Beautiful place to go. Water is a little aggressive so it is important to follow instructions (stay within the swimming area). The water is absolutely beautiful and very warm. There were lockers to keep the belongings. Food was also fabulous (fried red snapper was the best of all 4 fish).

The san luis beach is a bit more off the grid than the main beaches since its on the other side of the island so you can get a bit more privacy here. The beaches are always white and the water has different tones of blue. This place is great for picture taking and getting into the water.

This was a new discovery from this visit in San Andres. For just 5000 pesos you get access to a tramp and slide where you will fall from over 3 meter into the sea. There you can literally feed loads of fishes from your hands while you swim. Great!

San Andrés is a Colombian island in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Nicaragua. It is known for coral reefs and reggae music. The last 3 years I went on January 1th month with my family and this year I went on January 3th to January 8th with all my family we were like 20 people. I stayed in a hotel called, San Luis Village, near to a famous restaurant called Francesca. The sea is very beautiful, for example one day we stayed in the hotel, the next day we went to de aquarium, open sea, swimming, diving, and in the night we went shopping and eat at the center. The next day we went around the island, and we get down in the places we want. There are more activities that can be done for example swimming with fishes, going to the natural pool, diving up to 50 meters, and if you go with friends you can go one day on a yacht in the open sea and find a floating bar called Ibiza to have a very cool party on your yacht. I like San Andres beaucse of all the activities that we can do, because I have already done them all, because of the sea, restaurants, and the people.
