This island off the coast of Columbia is the way all tropical islands used to look like before Hilton and Club Med got into the tourism business. It is a laid back little island that caters to vacationers who like to snorkel and scuba in an environment that doesn't have souvenir shops, T-shirt kiosks or a McDonalds on every corner. In fact, this place looks a lot like a Caribbean island since most of the people on the island are black. Pirates, like Captain Morgan, used to hang out here (literally if they got caught). 
At the end of this lovely boardwalk is the place where they used to hang the pirates.
There is a bridge connecting the big island to a smaller one where pirate treasure is supposed to be buried.
Some of the passengers brought their snorkeling gear and spent many hours swimming in the warm and beautiful blue waters. In the distance is our ship , the Prinsendam. The surrounding waters are so shallow that we had to park the boat far from shore and take a shuttle over to the island.
