Nature and parks

A strenuous but rewarding hike and climb and a must see for anyone who visits the island! Commence your climb before 10.00 am and make sure to bring enough water (2 liters, purchasable at the ticket office) and wear sunscreen, hiking shoes and a hat. 

It is recommended to start the hike from the visitor’s center, from which it will take approximately three hours to the top. You can also drive your car to the foot of the mountain and start the hike from there, from which it will take two hours. 

The trail takes you through very different landscapes and shows a large variety of our nature. You can find bromeliads, orchids, lichens and beard moss along the trail. Although the trail is challenging, a unique and spectacular view of the island rewards you at the top.

Walk through the former plantation, past a mahogany grove, wells, dams, a saliña (salt marsh) and limestone terraces to Boka Grandi. Enjoy beautiful panoramas of the Savonet manor and the surrounding hills; picnic at Boka Grandi.

Hike to the Zorgvlied plantation to observe the plantation ruins with their panoramic view, through typical vegetation and through Roi Berú (dry riverbed or rooi).

This after hour tour to the Southern part of the park is truly mesmerizing. Observe the sunset in the most beautiful and silent setting on the island. Sunset gives the park an etheric glow making sure the trip is an unforgettable experience.

Pass through the picnic area and the deer sanctuary to the North coast and Boka Grandi. Enjoy limestone terraces and panoramas of the Savonet manor. Curaçao is the only Caribbean island where deer were present before 1492, when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Archaeologists believe that the island's original residents, the Arawak Indians, brought the deer here from South America, and the mammals are now considered native to the island.

Bird lovers will have a blast during this guided tour in which we take you to the areas with a high bird population and to the bird watching tower. We’ll show you a wide variation of local birds and migratory birds, which have the park as their (temporary) home. Don’t forget to bring your camera on this tour!

Feel free to visit the plantation; no reservations are necessary and there is no admission fee. Shop attendants will offer you information about the plantation and products, and you can watch a video of the production process. You are free to browse around the plantation premises, test products and enjoy a nice cup of coffee under our “palapa” while taking in the serene environment.

Area with more than 10 beautiful Boka's (inlets) where three species of turtles nest. A boka is, in fact, an inlet. Shete Boka stands for 'seven inlets'. Years ago, the environmental group Amigu di Tera arranged excursions in this area along seven bays. Hence, the name is taken, although in reality there are more than seven coves in this national park. The park begins at the beautiful Boka Tabla where large, unpredictable waves crush against an underground cave. An impressive experience!

The Hato Caves were formed below the sea level millions of years ago. With the Ice Ages the water level dropped down and Curacao was born. The Hato cave covers an area of 4900 m2, and is the home to the beautiful limestone formations, romantic pools, waterfall and our famous Madonna statue. Also inside the Cave is a colony of seldom seen long nose fruit bats.

Especially for hikers, such a beautiful park is near HATO AirPort. Need good footwear, and water.
Right at the start you can park your car and go for a walk. On the right side you can follow a path with yellow stones. At the end of the park is a gate and the road where cars (jeeps) can drive. Then you have to walk back via the wide road. Or you can drive your car to the center of the park and then start walking.
