    A gorgeous beach, the nicest public beach on the island. White sands, gentle waves, and a lot of sun. Coral reefs slightly offshore.

    Cayo Bolivar is the recent name of this atoll, which is also known as East Southeast Cay, or Court Town Cay. It's only 18 nautical miles from San Andrés Island. You can only get there by boat, but it is no longer accessible to tourists due to uncontrolled visits that put a lot of pressure on this fragile ecosystem.
    There are three main cays or islands and they a nesting site for a variety of oceanic seabirds as well as turtles. Now a days it is only visited by local fishermen and residents of San Andrés.

    A small botanical garden that concentrates only on plants found on San Andres. So it’s nice to identify the local plants as you tour the island. I was there on a Monday morning, and was the only visitor. The garden is on a hill and there is a higher observation tower at the top. You can see most of the island from the tower, a beautiful view! Some of the paths are unimproved, so beware if you are mobility impaired, but the main walkway is very good. Definitely worth visiting!

    We received a warm welcome upon arriving and were shown a variety of different areas, including the tamarind tree where the first priest gave lessons and the main church complex. They had some historical items and shared the history of the church which was really interesting. We climbed the church's tower, which involved some steep stairs and the view of the sunset and surrounding island was stunning. It was a short trip (doable in 30 minutes) but a nice interlude from the beaches.

    It could be a nice visit, but there is a "guide" outside asking for money to visit the pond. The storytelling of the guy is so bad, that it made me lose the interest for pay and visiting the place. It is also a lonely place, some locals say there are drug dealers there.

    It's a cool place and was definitely a good photo destination but it was way over crowed and confusing. Venders trying to sell you everything under the sun and it's a fight to get a spot to stand near the blow hole. With a little more organization I think it could be a much better tourist stop. I did get an amazing coconut drink! So, there is that! lol

    They have converted a dinked cave in a small attraction where a house of terror is the main attraction. It is kind of hilariously sad as this is a kitsch mixture

    The visit of this site was included in our tour. Its a simple park outdoors with a lot about the history explained. Its why I say if you like history, this place is for you. Its about a 45 minute tour. The guide is excellent, he explains very well. Some of the people there make animals out of tree branches, quite original and artistic! There's also a dance show with tyipical music.
