Best Time to Visit

The morning tour starting at 9:00 AM typically offers the most comfortable weather conditions, with cooler temperatures and clearer skies. However, the afternoon tour provides stunning lighting for photography and a different perspective of the island’s attractions. The dry season, from February to April, is ideal for this tour as you’ll have the best chances of uninterrupted views and perfect photo opportunities.

How to Get There

The train departs from a central location near the mosque in downtown San Andrés. I’d recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time to ensure a smooth check-in process. Most hotels on the island are within walking distance or a short taxi ride from the departure point.

Tips for Visiting

Ya know what really makes this train tour special? Let me share some insider tips I’ve picked up. Bring plenty of water – the Caribbean sun can be intense! And don’t forget your camera – trust me, you’ll want to capture every moment of this unique perspective of the island.

Wear comfortable clothing and bring sun protection – a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses are absolute must-haves. I always tell my friends to grab a seat on the right side of the train when starting out – you’ll get the best views of the coastline.

[If you need to reschedule, make sure to do it at least 72 hours in advance](https://rollingsanandres.com/tienda/tren-vuelta-a-la-isla/). The tour runs rain or shine, but morning tours tend to have better weather. Consider booking in advance during peak season – this is one of the island’s most popular attractions and spots fill up quickly!

Oh, and here’s a pro tip: bring some cash for any purchases you might want to make at the stops. While the train ride itself is a fantastic experience, the local vendors at various stops offer some amazing authentic souvenirs and snacks that you won’t want to miss.

The tour currently costs [COP 60,000](https://www.trensanandres.com/), which is honestly a steal for a 4-hour guided experience around the entire island. Remember to charge your phone or camera batteries – you’ll be taking lots of photos!
