For all the nature lovers, Christoffel park is a must see! The park is rich with a variety of local flora and fauna teeming with local birds and plants, including species that are not easily seen elsewhere on the island. For examples orchids, owl and much more. And if you’re quiet and lucky enough you may also see the Curaçao white tailed deer of which there are only 250 left.

There are many hiking routes for the whole family and of course couple of challenging ones for the adventurous souls.There are many hiking routes for the whole family and of course couple of challenging ones for the adventurous souls.
