Travelers wanting superb diving in crystal clear water, warm, white sandy beaches, exciting nightlife, colorful culture, a choice of full-amenity accommodations, relaxation and duty-free shopping head to San Andrés in the Caribbean.
San Andrés offers a varied cultural experience, from the cuisine of the islands to the languages spoken.
The archipelago of San Andrés is located 480 miles (720 km) northwest from the Colombian Caribbean Coast. It consists of the islands of San Andres, Providence and St. Catherine, Bolivar and Albuqueque islets, Cotton, Haynes, Johnny, Serrana, Serranilla, Quitasueno, Rocky, and Crab cays and Alicia and Bajo Nuevo sand banks.
How to Get There: San Andrés is conveniently located on the Central American-Colombian route. You can get there by air via charter flights and international locations to Gustavo Rojas Pinilla on San Andrés. Avianca, Satena and Aerorepublica offer service from Colombian cities.
You may get there by sea, from any port in the Caribbean. There are no ferries to the other islands or the Colombian mainland and the cargo ships do not carry passengers.
January to May is dry season, with another less-dry season during August and September.
San Andres is a port that welcomes visitors to its lushly green landscape, isolated cays and almost private beaches. The majority of the attractions of the islands come from nature and its history.
