Like San Andr\u00e9s, it has some of the most spectacular beaches that you can find in the Caribbean, but unlike its older brother, Provincia doesn\u2019t host the number of hotels and resorts to welcome travelers. Instead, it is a quiet island where you feel like there\u2019s been relative, to the margins of urbanism. Of course, you can find very good options to stay in Providencia, but it feels more like your own adventure &#8211; definitely a paradise for the travelers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can not just relax on its white beaches and immerse yourself in its turquoise waters, but you can also participate in different sports on the island. Diving is particularly popular on the island, as it has a magnificent coral reef that surrounds the island, which by the way, is the third-largest in the world. You can also visit Pueblo Viejo, as its name suggests, which is the oldest part of Providencia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/quote-your-trip-to-colombia-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Enter here to explore and book activities in San Andr\u00e9s y Providencia.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A peculiarity of the island that might surprise visitors is that the <strong>locals actually speak a Creole English<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/providencia-el-paraiso-en-el-caribe-colombiano-3.jpg\" alt=\"Providencia Island, Colombia\" class=\"wp-image-27085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/providencia-el-paraiso-en-el-caribe-colombiano-3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/providencia-el-paraiso-en-el-caribe-colombiano-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>The traffic complaints are gone\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>(in fact, islanders call it Old Providence) , meaning you won\u2019t have to worry about leaving that Spanish phrase book at the top of your luggage \u2013 although if you want to practice, <strong>Spanish is widely spoken too<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A visit to Providencia is a captivating, remarkable experience.
