ITINERARY

SAN ANDRES ISLAND

Travelers from all over the world come to these paradise islands in search of perfect sunsets, white sand beaches, and tall palm trees swaying in the breeze. Combined with the carefree smiles of the locals, these elements make this destination one of the best places for a tropical vacation.

During the circuit, we will also stop at the Blow Hole (Hoyo Soplador), located at the southern tip of the island — a natural phenomenon produced by a series of tunnels beginning in the coral reefs and ending at a hole several meters above sea level.
