SANTA CATALINA
keep in mind before going to Santa Catalina that we are a "dead end" village; and you probably don't want to lose half a day going to next city because you forgot your toothpast! So take care before leaving SONA to go to the last cash machine and the last gasoline station. Even if the closer hospital is only 20 km from Catalina it's only open in the morning; a pharmacy is now open in town. Special diet products can be hard to find outside Santiago main shops. Suncream; mosquitoes repellent and good wine are sometimes missing in our shops.
The best mobil network here is +mobil; Tigo can be ok. You can find some really good wifi hotspot in some restaurants (but don't expect to download a full season of game of throne)
Santa Catalina is subject to frequent power cuts; both dry and rainy season; causing network interruptions...
RESTAURANTS AND BARS
​
​
The central restaurant bar of Catalina; they serve the best burgers (veggie one are just incredible); an amazing red tuna and lot more.
If your are looking for a music bar with fresh fruits cocktails and a nice ambience to chill out you are at the right place.
​
Definitely my favorite restaurant. Juan and Chris welcome you on the terrace of the restaurant; Chris will offer homemade cocktails and drinks while Juan cooks his trio of burgers; his tuna Tataki , home made ravioli......
​
The local one; a good Ceviche; fresh fish; octopus or chiken salsa casera for few dollars; cheap beers... just 20 meters from the beach that's the place to discover Santa Catalina
Wood oven for baking great pizza. A woke restaurant. A bar. A chicken rotisserie. And a nice souvenir shop.​
​
The musical bar in town, where you can hang out when everything is closed.
​
​
Surf and souvenir sho where you can find some local handcraft gift, wax and more.
