Take a tour of Island House Museum to see an example of typical island architecture and culture. The museum preserves a colonial-era family house and showcases the everyday life of the islanders. Take a peek into the customs, culture, and history of the native San Andres people, and even participate in a traditional dance class after the guided tour. The small but charming house overlooks the Caribbean Sea, so you can relax in the garden or on the balcony and enjoy the calming view.

    Nice place, where you can know how people lived years ago. But you take not more than 30min to view it all...  more »

    The truth is that as a Museum doesn't offer much, only some objects used by the families who lived on the island. At the end you can participate in a dance class and take some refreshment.

    During the City Tour we stopped at Casa Museo where you can see the furniture and the lifestyle of the colonizers and first inhabitants. It's a tour, it's not time consuming. The tab (I don't remember the name) very happy, expansive, is a show the part describing the history, habits and customs and at the end there's a surprise ... I won't tell you not to spoil the surprise. Worth a visit for those who like to know the history of the place.
