San Andrés Island, Colombia

San Andrés Island is part of the San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina Archipelago, located in the southwestern Caribbean more than 700 km from the Colombian mainland. Integrated within the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve, the island sits atop a broad coral platform whose reef systems, seagrass meadows, and sandbanks create the characteristic multi-hued sea. This island environment, defined by oceanic and geomorphological processes, constitutes one of the most unique marine landscapes in the Caribbean.
