Isla de Providencia (often referred to as Old Providence in English), is located 80 km to the northeast of Isla de San Andrés, and is the the second largest island of the San Andrés Archipelago with an area of 17 km². Along with its smaller sister island of Santa Catalina (2 km²) it is enclosed by an extensive barrier reef system of some 35 km in length and covering over 250 km² in area — making it one of the most significant reefs occurring outwith the Pacific and Indian oceans.
