ISLAND HIGHLIGHTS



ISLAND HIGHLIGHTS
Along the Northern and scenic coastline, Bonaire's legendary blue waters are a breath-taking scene. Fossils embedded in limestone are clear evidence of the island rising from the sea. The rustic landscape is packed full of huge candelabra cacti, 'Divi Div' trees and a plethora of birds and wildlife make their home in this area.
Goto Lake, a natural salt water lake and a feeding ground for the flamingos, is one of the most beautiful places on the island. Narrow tree lined country lanes will bring you to a drinking well for animals. Arrive in Rincon Village, built by Spanish explorers in the 14th century, and make a stop at Washington Slagbaai National Park.
At the entrance of the National Park, see a full scale juvenile whale skeleton, visit the natural history plantation museum and the open-air exhibit for a peak into Bonaire's heritage. Relaex on the large covered terrace where you can buy cold drinks and snacks. Onwards to the south, home to the salt company and the flamingo protected nesting grounds. Learn how salt is produced today on Bonaire and how it was mined in the past. At the Slave Huts, see and touch history as you visit the original huts used as shelters by the slaves. The spectacular color contrasts of the Caribbean Sea against the pink colored saltpans, snow-white salt mounds and clearn blue skies will turn any picture into a postcard.
