Cuando peque no siempre le tuve cierto miedo a la Cueva de Morgan por la historias que de alli se tegian, pero por fortuna todos crecemos y llega el momento de vivir en el mundo real y saber que en San Andres hay un lugar tan bello y con tanta historia.

La cueva de morgan es uno de eso lugadres de la lista de 20 actividades que hacer en San Andres que sin duda si se pierde la vista a este, es mejor que no le diga a nadie que estuvo en San Andres. Lo que lo hace uno de los lugares en San Andres verdad no selo puede perder. En los ultimos anos la administacion del sitio Turistico ha mejorado lo que lo hace una experiencia sin igual.

Llegar alli es muy facil si estan dando la vuelta a la isla ne carro de golf pues veran la informacion en la ruta que dice donde queda la cueva de morga. Tambien pueden pegarse una pasea en bus con dos rutas que lo dejaran muy cerca de la cueva de morgan la ruta de San Luis o Loma Cove, les recomeindo mejor San Luis y no olviden mensionarle al conductor del bus que van a la cueva de morgan. Estos conductores son muy amigables y ayudan a los turistas en todo lo queden.

One San Andres its a really cute place in the Caribbean and that we already know it, ones there they are few ways that you can see or admired all the beauty of the seven color sea in one shot. Of course when you are going to the cays Hains Cay, Acuario or Jhonny Cay you have the chance or best way you can do this, see the seven colors of the sea. But not really because you cannot see the combination of all the colors deferents greens and blues. But donut be disappointed, there a place were you can enjoy all this color and contrast at ones.

The heist place in the island its the sector call the Hill. Theres a place on the hill near to the First Baptist church were for a low sum of money you can see all the beauty of the seven colors sea. The other place were you can enjoy in Loma Barack were you can find the Hardin botanico, its a botanic garden were apart form all the typical plants and trees of the archipelagos you also can find a View place to enjoy very recommended.

So in couple word you cannot miss a thing from San Andres, and if ever they ask you if you say the seven Colors see you can say yes i do.

Remember that you can also find us on twitter and in facebook. Don’t forget to fallow us true RSS.

I have heard all around people they mention me about other hotels in the island, if there any thin different from Decameron to have a different experience in the island. Because when they ask for other option in their preference travel agency they say: no, there no other hotel there. The fact it’s that there no other whit the plan you are coming whit to San Andres. In Canadian case nolitours have a contract whit Airtrasat and Decameron hotels to only give service whit them.

So for instants, if you came in a last chance flight how and where could you stay? Well in the island you have native house, were they offer hosting, and hotels that aren’t in the Decameron groups.

To book hotel in San Andres sometimes in complicate because the majorities of this hotel are Local Manage so you have to call direct to the hotels,  or contact them true mail something that sometimes result harder that true phone.

So unfortunately the best way is to travel to San Andres and ones here, find were to stay, if you definitely don’t want a experience of all inclusive. You also have the change to stay on native how that you can see the list of places on the top menu of the blog on Hotels.

And definitely keep in mind that in San Andres everyone helps you, so if you need anything don’t hesitate to ask question to the cabs driver they also have nice tips about where to stay. Something that defiantly works it’s asking them to carry you to a recommended and economical hotel, and you will have a great result.

What do you think of San Andres when you when to stay out of the all inclusive? Where did you stay?

They are several ways to reach to San Andres from Canada you could find out about AIR Transat that make charters trips to the travels to the island. The other way it’s to book all the trip by you own, and that would be by mean of take a plane from were ever you are and Come to Bogota, then from Bogota DC, Colombia, you take another plane to San Andres Isla. Another way its true panama City and then you travel to San Andres Islas.

A group of Universities located in Bogota, the British ELT publishers represented in Colombia, the Centro Colombo Americano Bogota, ASOCOPI and the British Council Colombia are organising the 14th NATIONAL ELT CONFERENCE  with the theme:

Innovation and Professional Development in ELT

There is an urgent need in the ELT Community to go beyond the obvious fact that teachers need to innovate and refresh their knowledge. It is true that effective teaching and learning depend on teacher learning, but many questions remain unanswered: How to plan for effective continuous professional development? How do we make sure academic learning and research directly affect professional practice? How do we address the changing situations of teachers in the ELT field, from the perspective of innovation and professional development?

The Organising Committee welcomes presentations, papers and research reports dealing with the following topics:

This topic was chosen in response to the suggestions made by participants at the 2010 Conference.

The Conference will be held in Bogota, Colombia, from 30^th March to 1^st April 2010, at Universidad Javeriana. This event is a forum for researchers, teacher educators, academic coordinators, practitioners and decision makers to share a critical and constructive assessment of current research and practice in the teaching of English.

It would be an honour to have you or a colleague you can recommend as one of the presenters at the conference.

Presentations can be:
1. Plenary sessions (One hour)
2. Workshops (Fifty minutes)
3. Awareness sessions (Fifty minutes)
4. Research reports (Fifty minutes)

Please download the proposal form and a brief explanation of the nature of each type of presentationhere*.

* Please fill out both sheets of the proposal by clicking on the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

The number of speakers for each presentation is limited to two. However, only one complimentary pass will be given for each presentation.
