San Andres / Johnny Cay / Haynes Cay / Rose Cay

The archipelago of San Andres is a set of small islands on the Caribbean, and although it belongs to Colombia it's very far from there (It's about the same latitude as Nicaragua). Actually Nicaragua is currently claiming it so they're deciding it on the justice.

We have arrived yesterday here and there's even a sort of immigration process when you arrive due to the tourism fee (46000COP per person). Then there's police checking for drugs when you leave Medellín and here.
San Andres seems to have come out of one of those magazines. The sea has 7 colours as they say, with all layers of blue available.
There are several duty free shops as well, but they are prone to copycat brands so one must be very careful.
Today we did the trip to the small islands Johnny Cay/Rose Cay/Haynes Cay.

Rose Cay/Haynes Cay are actually next to each other and are very small islands. Rose Cay is about the size of 2 houses actually LOL. But they are located right next to several coral reefs. There are also tons of fishes so Snorkeling is big there. The fishes come very close to you and there are fishes from all existing colours. It's simply amazing and hard to describe, that's why I'm posting a lot of pictures.
Johnny Cay is not so big on reefs but it's the definition of a Caribbean island with palm trees, colourful sea and beautiful scenery!


Are you counting the colours?



Statistics show 99% of people take pictures with open arms





Tough life bro!
