About San Andrés

Only a few hours suffice to visit this seahorse-shaped island from top to bottom. However, despite it’s small size, there is definitely no lack of activities. The island safari gives visitors the chance to discover botanical gardens, a 360° observation tower, and even a laguna. Johnny Cay and Acuario cays charm visitors with palm trees and local delicacies that change according local fishermen’s catches of the day. Tourists may also enjoy the warm calm waters of San Andrés to go diving or snorkeling and observe turtles and exotic fish in their natural habitats. San Andrés island’s rich culture is a blend of English, Spanish, African, and Middle Eastern influence.
