Bajo Nuevo Bank, also known as Petrel Island, is an intriguingly remote and uninhabited reef in the Caribbean Sea, claimed by several countries but administered by Colombia. Characterized by its lagoons and vibrant coral reefs, it`s a haven for a wide variety of marine species. The area is renowned for its underwater scenery, making it a potential paradise for divers, although accessibility is currently challenging. The isolation of the bank has allowed its underwater ecosystem to thrive, contributing to its reputation as one of the Caribbean`s unspoiled aquatic sanctuaries. As the island is not open for public visits and lacks human habitation, it retains an air of mystery and remains a point of interest for its natural beauty and disputed status.
