Tourists flock to Colombia to see the seven-color sea
With sea water in 7 different shades of blue, San Andres Island in the Caribbean Sea (Colombia) attracts many tourists, especially couples.
San Andres Island is considered a pearl in the Caribbean Sea (Colombia). On the east side of the island, around noon, the sea water changes color into 7 different shades such as sky blue, azure blue, emerald green...
This special natural phenomenon attracts many tourists to come and rent boats to go out to sea to admire it, according toNew York Times.
Cleotilde Henry, 75, is one of the islanders who has a room for visitors. Many people who visit the island often rent her homestay through "Posadas Nativas" - a special indigenous homestay program on the island.
Introducing the small house, Ms. Henry shared: "This is where I was born. So when I mentioned how to make money from tourism, I immediately thought of this house."
Currently, Ms. Henry is also the president of the Posadas Nativas Association of the archipelago and has 12 rooms for rent. On booking platforms such asBooking.com, she is known as "Cli's Place".
Across the island, there are about 200 houses similar to Mrs. Henry's, where visitors can stay with local families and enjoy local food.
San Andres' beaches are not among the most beautiful in the world, but the clear blue water and coral reefs here are highly appreciated by tourists.
Each of the smaller islands on San Andres has its own beauty. Johnny Cay, located just north of the populated San Andres, is a deserted island with only a cluster of palm trees amid white sand.
Rocky Cay, as its name suggests, is just a small rock with a beach bar and a floating shipwreck next to it. Haynes Cay has a small restaurant built into the sand.
When coming to San Andres, visitors will be able to move between small islands, rest or swim around. You can rent a mule (small boat) to move around the island. Along the way, you will enjoy the beauty of 7 shades of blue sea.
For snorkelers, the island is a paradise. You can see turtles swimming around seahorses, stingrays and barracudas as clearly as you would on land. Many have likened it to a “natural aquarium.”
In 2000, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization established the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve, a large protected marine area surrounding the islands of San Andres.
On the islands, visitors can catch a taxi on the streets. Most hotels here also offer bicycle and motorbike rental services.
