This isn’t a geiser in Yellowstone Park in the United States. This striking attraction is located in the Colombian Caribbean and a curiosity in nature with many more diversion possibilities.
The blow hole is a rarity that is fun for all ages with its marine snorts – an incredible conjunction of compressed air, a network of coral tunnels, and a barrage of crystal waters that slide up to eight meters inside a hole, blowing ocean water as a powerful vertical jet. This is the Hoyo Soplador, a natural marvel that everyone should visit and enjoy.
Depending on the intensity of the waves that crash against the shore, the Hoyo Soplador can expulse columns of water that spurt from four to ten meters high. In the time between the intermittent waves that lash the coast, people take the opportunity to bathe in the water or take photos or video.
Spectators of nature anxiously wait. An un-erasable smile lines their faces, waiting for the breath of the Caribbean that comes in the onslaught of the wave. Perhaps they’re waiting for the perfect moment to take an unforgettable, funny picture. But you have to be incredibly synchronized at the time of click because, if not, the photographer will receive a pleasant Caribbean bath. In any case, travelers are photographed for posterity with laughter on their faces, that of a child who just doesn’t want to grow up.
Located in the Southern Point of the island, near the Hoyo Soplador are some small huts – places where you can find something to satisfy your appetite with a delicious Caribbean dish or just find something refreshing to drink. And don’t leave this visit just started, not far from here you can discover more of San Andres’ beautiful natural wonders: La Piscinita (the little pool), West View, and the beautiful waters in El Cove – pristine waters striped blue and green.
