• San Andres - Day 1

    30 Mac 2018, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    With 30-40mm of rain per day coming towards Bogota and the interior for the next week, we decided to look into other options as that would have been awful. The amazon was seriously considered but the forecast there was bad too.

    Decided to fly to the balmy island of San Andres off the coast of Nicaragua. This island along with Providencia, belong to Colombia but also have some amount of autonomy. You can't buy a one way ticket there (well you can but they won't let you board it without return fare - which we fully tested), and there's a tourist visa card to pay to go there too. The islands also have much more of a Jamaican population and culture than Colombian.

    This island had beaches and was by far the most developed and populated with tourists but didn't really have any wow factor to it. Spent a couple of hours enjoying the beach and walking around and sorting out the next few days to come via purchasing tickets for transportation and tours. Had an awesome fish dinner by the water and called it an early night as we signed up for an all day excursion the next morning. Plus those damn pigeons kept us up the night prior again, and we were exhausted. -SP
