The San Bernardo islands only stand out from the sea and are mainly covered by mangroves and salinity tolerant vegetation; In some, coconut trees and pastures were introduced, in a recent occupation process that is based on the construction of recreational areas that will lead to the alteration, up to a moderate time, of the environment.



The islands of the Archipelago, a little above sea level, were colonized by mangroves and some terrestrial vegetation, tolerant to strong marine influences. They are associated with an interesting fauna of seabirds and insects.



The permanent settlement of the archipelago is made up of fishermen whose production takes place on the mainland. The islands have been preserved at least in their natural conditions, but I am concerned about the rise of tourism that tends to appropriate and transform the islands, which has long been well defended by the elderly who inhabit them.



The San Bernardo archipelago, located on the outskirts of the Gulf of Morrosquillo, in front of Tolú and Coveñas, is made up of 10 islets (Boquerón, Balsillas, Palma, Mangle, Panda, Ceicen, Titipan, Islote, Mucura and Maravilla) that, are they have originated in a complex of reefs, some of which have emerged. Like them, the San Bernardo Islands are located on a coral platform of great beauty. You will take a boat from Coveñas.



The San Bernardo Islands are a natural paradise that is worth visiting for ecotourism.
