The lost city of Ciudad Perdida is a great citadel predating the Inca. The splendid sight of the exotic green terrain made the trip worthwhile. However, the trek is going to be grueling, as it stretches for 4 to 5 days if you have to reach the archaeological site. The trekking through the menacing terrain requires a strong heart.  

Go Scuba Diving in Taganga

Towards the north of the town, on Tayrona National Park border is the fishing village of Taganga. I visited this small village to learn about scuba diving. However, if the laid-back vibe of the small town attracts you then you can just relax. Taganga offers the cheapest PADI scuba courses to be found in the continent.

Relax on Playa Blanca

Next, I decided to soak up in the sun. So, I jumped on a ferry and headed towards Playa Blanca. Being situated on headland’s other site; it is only a short trip from the city. The sandy beach is lined up with restaurants. Spend the day here to unwind from the daily drudgeries.

The beaches, islets, cays, and the coral reefs add to the natural beauty of the city. Take day trips and enjoy the splendid weather that it has offered all throughout the year.

The islet is just beautiful and is filled with tourist during the weekends. I headed out to snorkel over the reef. I found many drinks and food stalls in here where I tried the Caribbean lobster, coco loco, and also fried fish.

This is one of the primary reason I visited San Andres. The clear and warm water is just perfect for it. The colorful coral reefs, tons of fishes, rock formations, and sharks are some of the few things you can get a glimpse of. There are options of wreck dives, shore dives, and also night dives. You will find many professional diving shops with dive-masters and instructors who can speak Spanish and English.
