Aventura extrema en Providencia Island: Adrenalina pura
Vive la aventura en Providencia Island con actividades que desafiarán tus límites.
Providencia Island (along with its smaller neighbor Santa Catalina) is one of the best kept secrets of the Caribbean Sea. Located about 90 kilometers north of San Andrés, this mountainous island of volcanic origin is part of the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve. Characterized by the absence of large hotel chains, concrete constructions and massive cars, Providencia offers an untouched paradise of crystal-clear waters, dream beaches like Manzanillo and a deep connection with the English-speaking Creole (*Creole*) Raizal culture.
