CHOOSING A DESTINATION

SAN ANDRES

The destination which I would choose to travel in my near vacations is San Andres Isla, because it is a place that always I have wanted to know and to visit, offers tourists many places to visit with family, It is the dream that many persons want to realize, Its beaches, bathed by a seven-color sea made placid and safe by coral barriers, are the main attraction.

The following are worth mentioning:

Bahía Sardine located in the northern part of the island, near the main hotel and tourism sector. It is a city beach with white sand shaded by palms and a nice view of the Johnny Cay Island.
