Archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, or colloquially San Andrés y Providencia, is one of the departments of Colombia. It consists of two island groups about 775 km (482 mi) northwest of mainland Colombia, and eight outlying banks and reefs. The largest island of the archipelago is called San Andrés and its capital is San Andrés.
San Andrés is the largest island full of resorts and a famous touristic destination arriving by plane into the Gustavo Rojas Pinilla (SKSP) airport located to the north of the island where airlines like Avianca, Latam, Wingo, Viva Colombia, Satena and Copa Airlines have regular flights and seasonal flights from numerous international airlines.
Providencia Island, also known as New Providence, located to the north of San Andrés, is a small mountain island which contains 90% of Colombian reefs. It has a small island next to it called Santa Catalina. Green Tourists arrive from San Andrés via ferry of by small planes to the “El Embrujo” airport located to the east of the island between hills.

A very high quality scenery with lots of detail. I did have a rare and strange issue with the installer but PK Sim's support was excellent and they sorted the problem out.
I was not aware of the existence of PKSIM. I have flown quite a bitin and out of Colombia and within that country for 40 years. I got used to another developer providing Colombian airports, but that company has not done anything with P3Dv4. I'm very happy PKSIM has taken on much-needed Colombian airports. I have all four of their P3Dv4 airports. The visuals are very good and realistic with little impact on performance. The only detail I don't like is the grass texture, but a configurator allows uses to turn it on and off, as well as other features like static aircraft, dynamic lighting, etc. I hope they develop a major hub like SKBO in the near future!
