This small, rocky island doesn't offer beaches, but it's an idyllic and wild spot full of iguanas and great for snorkeling. There're a couple of restaurants and it's a fun day trip for much of the year, though it can get crowded on weekends and during the August holidays. Boat trips cost COP$15,000 from San Andrés Town.
