San Andrés attracts tourists with local traditions and diving

The island of San Andrés, Colombia, continues to attract visitors through its unique local traditions and diverse marine ecosystems. On the Spratt Bight beach, local vendors like Javier maintain traditional practices, such as carrying trays of artisanal sweets like cocadas and enyucados balanced on hats to navigate the crowded sands.

For adventure seekers, the island offers significant underwater attractions, most notably the Nirvana dive site located in the western sector. This site is popular for both scuba diving and apnea, featuring depths of up to 40 meters. Divers can explore coral formations and marine life, including parrotfish, turtles, rays, and tuna, as well as the wreck of El Velerito, a sunken sailboat located at depth.
