San Andres And Providencia

San Andres and Providencia are two great tropical islands in the Carribean. They are located much closer to Nicaragua than to Colombia San Andres is the largest island. It is 7 mi/11 km long and 1.5 mi/2 km wide. It has wide pink and white beaches coral reefs coconut trees and an extremely friendly population. This relaxing place is good for long periods of fishing diving and duty-free shopping.

Providencia Island some 45 mi/75 km to the north is less developed and even more relaxed than San Andres—it’s worth the extra travel time. Be prepared for expensive food on all the islands as nearly everything is imported.
