| Chris hoofing it along the main road east out of Santa Isabel |
Providencia is not a large island. It’s likely that one
could walk the main road that encircles the island just inland of the shore in
a single day, but it’s too hot for that. We did, however, strike out from Santa
Isabel for long walks. Heading east through town, you pass residences (along
the main road, and along the small roads branching off of the main road), the
police station, hospital, and the local library, up and down several hills, before
breaking into the ‘burbs (ha ha, just fewer houses). We enjoyed several walks
along the Maricaibo loop, one of the few paved roads on the island besides the
main road. You pass several lovely rental houses as well as a couple of small
boutique resorts; Deep Blue has a nice waterfront small restaurant where we
stopped one morning for coffee and juice. What we really loved was a piece of
land for sale, across the road from the water. It was sloped, with a flat area
near the treeline for a house, and large open areas for fruit trees and
terraced gardens. That’s what we decided belonged there, anyway. The road
continues on to a small residential area, then meets back up with the main
road. The only real hill on this route is that on the south side of town, so
it’s a pretty easy walk.
