Caribbean Islands
San Andrés
El mar de siete colores, closer to Nicaragua than to the mainland.
IslandsDivingCouples
San Andrés is a Colombian island far out in the Caribbean, and it feels like its own world: English-Creole spoken alongside Spanish, Raizal culture, reggae and calypso on the breeze, and the famous mar de siete colores, a sea that genuinely shifts through seven shades of blue and green.
Rent a golf cart and loop the island, snorkel the reefs, eat rondón and fresh fish, and slow all the way down. It is small, easy, and built for switching your brain off.
Qué hacer
- Loop the island by golf cart, stopping at Hoyo Soplador and West View
- Snorkel or dive the reefs; the visibility is unreal
- Johnny Cay and the Acuario sandbar by boat
- Rondón, the slow-cooked island stew, at a local spot
- Sunset and live music on the San Luis side
Antes de ir
- Everyone pays a tourist card (tarjeta de turismo) on the way in
- It is a duty-free island; flights from the mainland are the main cost
- A golf cart for a day is the best way to see it
- Bring reef-safe sunscreen; the ecosystem is protected
