Why go

Discover San Andrés and Providencia

San Andrés and Providencia are Colombian islands in the western Caribbean, famous for their sea of seven shades of blue. They are part of Seaflower, a UNESCO biosphere reserve with one of the largest coral reefs in the Americas.

San Andrés combines beaches, water sports, shopping and Raizal culture, with its own Creole language, music and cuisine. Providencia, smaller and quieter, is ideal for unplugging.

It is a perfect destination for couples, families and diving enthusiasts.
