SAN ANDRES FOR SEMANA SANTA

Hey, my names rob. Im a 26 year old guy from New York and have been to colombia a bunch of times and love it---- i have never been to san andres--- is semana santa a good time to go ot san andres. Will there be a lot of people there during this time and are the bars and local clubs on the island dead? Is it a religious time where people are with family and pray?

Also when i go to colombia i have always met very beautiful and amazing people--- will there be lots of young colombians(especially girls) in san andres during this time that are around my age?

Thanks-

who is semana santa?

What I have, I do not want to lose, but Where I am I do not want to stay, but those I love, I do not want to leave, but those I know I no longer want to see, but Where I die, I do not want to go;I want to stay where I have never been

San Andrés will be packed with people during Semana Santa, do book now. Lots of high school teens as most graduation trips tend to happen during these time of the year for schools that finish school year in June, which is quite a few from Bogotá and a lot from Cali.

Your killer personality should make you king of the island clubs in no time. Gee, vacation week in Colombia... ya think a tourist destination may have people there?

If you are 15 years old, there'll be loads of people the same age as you. . .

The place is heaving in Semana Santa. Like they mentioned above, lots of school trips after the end of the exams. I passed by all the bars and they are full of kids in Semana Santa. I much preferred to stay in the hotels. The airport is always mayhem when a few planes arrive at the same time!

I've never been in San Andres in Semana santa but I was there like 4 months ago and I was amazed about the improvements of the island ( 8 years ago was my last visit) , specially the beach where most of the hotels are located.

bufalo you sound like a complete and total asshole. I usually dont fight on these nmessage boards, i merely wanted to know whether semana santa which i know is an extremely religous holiday will have people partying or whether its more of a holiday where people spend with their families and go to church. Do you browse people messages and try and act like a complete douchebag? Yoyu sound pathetic

If I was a complete one, wouldn't that make me a whole one? I can't help it if you write like a dork.

"... have been to colombia a bunch of times" - try paying attention, there's a reason they refer to it as "Semana Parranda". (also try spelling)

Forgot to mention that you weren't bright enough to figure out the RAAAY beat me to the punch.

I booked a trip to San Andres for the summer holidays (i.e. July) - and just got there in time. My guess is that SA is fully booked up for Semana Santa by now.

I may be going to San Andres and I looked at the sunset hotel and noblehouse, I want to go scuba diving and it will be the first time so have any of you been to either one of these hotels? can you give me suggestions? I may be going solo and want a relaxing calm and fun few days on my own so will either one of these two hotels work?

In my opinion san andres is a nice place to go with your girlfriend or wife for a relaxing vacation on a beautiful beach. I would hate to go during a busy holiday and have to wait several hours to take a boat ride or just do anything cause of the crowd. It's a very small island afterall. Most of the people are tourists and I didn't really see many "hot girls" there. Although there were plenty of quinceneras or however you spell it. The discos sucked there.
