San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina
The main settlements on Providencia are Pueblo Viejo for businesses and Agua Dulce for tourism but with the one road skirting the outside edge of the island most inhabitants live in a linear fashion along the shore. Santa Catalina, an island of just 1 square mile is reached from Providencia by the “Lover’s Bridge”.

Traveler Reviews of San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina
San Andres and Cali
San Andres is a beautiful Caribbean island and as good of a value as you can find anywhere. It will keep you busy with plenty of sightseeing and water activities, as well as nightlife and culture. If you are considering visiting Colombia or the Caribbean, this is the best of both worlds.
