Located in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Colombia, this man-made island is home to about 500 people living on just 0.012 sq km (1.2 hectares) that’s roughly the size of two football fields. 🇨🇴 With no cars, no running water, and over 100 houses packed tightly together, the population density is over 100,000 people per square kilometer, more than 4x that of Manhattan. Despite its size, the island has a school, a church, and a strong sense of community. Residents rely on the mainland for fresh water and supplies, and fishing remains the main source of income. It’s one of the world’s most fascinating examples of sustainable living and community resilience. #SantaCruzDelIslote #ColombiaHiddenGems #DenselyPopulated #IslandLife #TravelFacts #GeographyNerd #UnusualPlaces
