📍 Destination Overview
San Andres, a Colombian coral island in the Caribbean, is ringed by reefs of the UNESCO Seaflower reserve. Coral and varying depths give its waters the Seven-Colour Sea name. Hohn Bay offers fine snorkelling, and Johnny Cay's white sand and palms are quintessentially Caribbean, amid Afro-Caribbean Raizal culture, music and cuisine.
