Wanting to escape reality, that at times can be overwhelming, Lover’s Bridge can be a little cheesy, but it’s hard not to fall into the dream, watching as lovers cross the bridge, hand-in-hand, with that certain look in their eyes as they pull close to each other under a fiery sunset that melts into the deep blue Caribbean sea.
Lover’s Bridge is a wooden construction that connects the hearts of lovers and the territories of Providencia and Santa Catalina.
Lover’s Bridge is a must-see for those who have the privilege of visiting the tranquil, beautiful island of Providencia. Crossing the bridge is filled with charm. On one end, you find the energetic, joyful population of Santa Isabel, urban epicenter of Providencia. On the other end is the jungle-like Santa Catalina. The wooden walkway resonates to the rhythm of its crossers. It’s almost impossible to choose where to look as the sea opens in its splendor, blending with the sky, like another ocean of serenity. The bridge extends as a perfect communion of two extraordinary worlds.
The bridge was constructed on the Aury Canal – named in honor of the French corsair Luis Aury (1788-1821), an important figure in the history of the archipelago. It has a longitude of approximately 180 meters, with the critical function of connecting Santa Catalina to Providencia. At the same time, the bridge is a meeting point for those who wish to walk on the sea with a privileged view: two lush green jungle islands and the blue profundity of the sea united with a single line that stretches over the horizon.
Such is the beauty of the colorful Lover’s Bridge, an ideal setting for a romantic film – the romance of your life. And though we don’t want to compare the most romantic spots in the world because of film: The Trevi Fountain, the Mouth of Truth, the Bridge of Milvio or under the shadows of the Eiffel Tower, we’re certain that this bridge will inspire the greatest of cynics to steal a kiss from their loved one, take a photograph, and lose themselves to a moment in one of the most romantic places in the Caribbean.
