and Creole, which is the language of this region. Of the
gastronomy to speak, its main course is the Rondón and its
Caribbean drinks like the Crazy Coconut are the sensation between
the tourists. As for the music there is a big rhythms variety
highlighting between them the Reggae and of course, its most
representative holidays like the festival of the crab, Green Moon
Festival and the Reign of the Coconut are the reflex of the wealth
and the cultural coloring of this beautiful island.

c. What is the weather like? The climate of the island is warm,

where two seasons dominate summer and winter. The winds help a
little to relieve the heat. In general during the year the rains are
defined by a dry season and a rainy one. The first has a variable

following months are rainy, with strong winds, mainly the second
week of June, this year the island has a threat of hurricanes that
would touch the Island.

Andrés and the municipality of Providence and Santa Catalina

to San Andrés, the biggest island of the country; it consists of
other islands, keys and islets on the volcanic platform of the

know its coloring architecture and its exquisite gastronomy with
flavor to Caribbean Sea, not only it is beach, also it is provided
with other tourist places to visit and to show to the world.

 ambience with nature tied to the sea. The sea of 7 colors, a
spectacle that is due to the different depths of the sea and to the
type of the seabed around the island. This sea is among the most
beautiful in the world and drives the group of the most colorful, a
motive of weight for visiting San Andrés.

f. How is the traffic in the city? The routes of the archipelago

department are atypical and do not retain the same parameters as
the roads of the rest of the nation, since there are no routes of
municipal interconnections or municipal development towns, nor
the total continuity of roads and the Clear securitization of the
same, concentrating this problem in residential areas of access to
neighborhoods or populated areas of the island.

Where tourists can see its colonial style architecture and its varied

by old colonial houses. The town will be considered one of the most
beautiful in Colombia, being one of the most important tourist
destinations in the country. In Villa de Leyva the visitor should enjoy
activities such as ecological walks, cycle rides, horseback riding and
many more.

In addition there are many cultural plans to do and enjoy such as

restaurants, museums, craft shops and artists. It is an ideal colonial
town to spend a holiday season, where tourists always say "We will go
to Villa de Leyva this summer"

As an additional attractive element, the town has established a series

of massive events and festivals that attract large numbers of people
promoting commerce and tourist services with an excellent offer of
hotels, restaurants and places for rest and contact with nature, all
Tourists will play and enjoy the activities until late.

The positive is that it is a colonial style city, recognized by thousands

of tourists where it will be a perfect place where tourists can rest, also
has a large hotel infrastructure suitable to provide tourists with a
welcoming experience. Now, the negative of the city, the commerce
should not deceive the tourists since the commercial prices are not
affordable.
