This section I decided to write it to one of you ....

The sage said, there is a tourist from San Andres and Providencia by what has impressed me ... the beauty of the islands but both remained in the heart of the mountain and one thousand silences the voice of the sea of Providencia.
San Andres is so full of life, shops, rhythms, as Providencia is full time hours without

, A space without boundaries, nothing and no one puts in a hurry to live, talk, have fun, fall in love and yet, each of the past 11 days there, I found, without trying, women and men full of energy and stories, ready to take off the mask ... and this was true not only for residents but also for the rare turisti.Si dance the rumba and reggae on the beach of Manzanillo under a sky full of stars with the band and Rolando, rasta, musician and juggler you need a sweet mango though the season is not yet mature, we will prepare a huge almendro leaf with coconut rice, beans and patacones (a kind of fried banana is not sweet, plane) if you are a vegetarian like me and can not draw he lobster or provide barracuda, Pargo rojo, caracol, food, common to all the island along with the exquisite cangrejo (crab) of the mountain (el Pico, m. 367). These large crabs blacks and reds, but also green and blue, almost a symbol of Providencia, and are arboreal in May to create a grand spectacle, a biblical migration to the beaches for reproduction and sometimes forcing the closure of the only road that encircles the island of only 17.Insomma sq km, enough to rent a scooter and go wherever you like! A jump in Santa Isabel, colorful micro-capital, perhaps to buy anti-mosquito soap, rum or change in pesos (there is a bank, but you can also change at the supermarket), of course, giving priority to horses and cows on the street ... do not forget to stop licking a delicious paleta (popsicle craft) tamarind before reaching the floating bridge of lovers, a short walk with the aid of the breeze until the island of Santa Catalina, emerald green with many small coves to be discovered! Of course, the fishermen will take you to islands and islets, but if you want a guide of exception, unconventional, ask for Curramba in Agua Dulce (the beach of the hotel), a rasta born in Barranquilla, Colombia on the continent, reliable in every occasion, Conveniently covered boat will pick you up and takes you where you want to see the famous rock with the odd shape, called Cabeza Morgan (Caribbean, land of pirates), but will not fail to point out a funny hill, less famous, which he call ... Morgan's ass! Among the most beautiful cays the Tres Hermanos (the brothers), but above Cayo Cangrejo, breathtaking island where, even if you're not diving on the coral reef of 32 km around Providencia, you can still spot mantas giant barracuda and lots of colorful fish, if you want Curramba will dive with you to show you the most interesting meetings for marine, all included in the price! My election is still suroeste Bay, where the water warm and calm kisses white sand, where the frigate steal the fish from the fishing boats, among the rocks on the shore where they were born hiding corals and fish, lobsters, moray eels and even small yellow and black, where the horses are off to the bathroom, where Children laugh and splash each other after school almost on the beach, where there are restaurants most truthful, where he will return to spread reggae music kiosk Albert Richards, a philosopher rasta island. I want to come back soon in this little paradise UNESCO declared in 2001 "Reserva de Biosfera de Flora Marina" ... even the rapid encounters with lizards, iguanas and blue primordial I miss so much!
