The archipelagos of San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina are located on the northwest of the Colombian Caribbean coast and were declared as UNESCO Biosphere reserves.
It is believed that the islands were first discovered by Christopher Columbus, but they were administered by the English from 1631.This led to a period of colonization, in particular, by people of African descent. In 1670 the infamous Welsh pirate Henry Morgan established his base on the island of Providencia. People still believe the legend that some of his treasures remain buried here. Due to the history of the archipelago, the language spoken on the islands is a mixture of English and Spanish. San Andres Island is the largest island in the archipelago, famous for its beaches, with pink coral in the sand and the sea of seven colours with its clear turquoise- blue waters.
