Savonet History Tour

The main draw of the park is climbing up Christoffel Mountain but since my wife can't and since it's so hot (and she'd be waiting in the heat), I decided not to do it.
We drove the two car routes and I did the short hikes. The signage is inadequate- either not there or faded out by the sun so they can't be read.
There were a couple of nice shady tree areas, a few impressive cacti and some birds but in general I was underwhelmed by the park.
Your admission ticket includes entry to
the Manor Savonet Museum which is worth seeing.

It's an activity you can enjoy alone or with a group. Make sure to wear good hiking shoes and start early, as it can get quite warm later in the day. Bring plenty of water.

You'll pay for the entrance at the base, then drive a bit further up to begin your hike.

The last part requires some climbing, but generally, the hike takes about an hour. Enthusiasts can complete it in under thirty minutes.

Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view.

Good hike and move view from the top of Curaçao (highest point of the island). Bring good footware, lots of water and go early in the morning - it's hot!

Go early, bring lots of water and soak in the stunning view at the top. I saw 10 year old kids and 70 year adults doing the climb. As long as you have good balance, the climb isn't too bad. Take a lot of breaks.

Fun hike! 10/10 but pray for your calves 🥹
and keep calm on the slight climb.
enjoy the views at the top 🫣

Beautiful park! Amazing view on the top. easy hike

Th park contains the highest mountain of the ABC-Islands and the whole Caribbean Netherlands. You should have a car to drive around all of its places. Hiking up to the top of Christoffel mountain is not too hard but, anyway, stay alerted and be carefull especially during a rainy day, while the rocks on your road are slippery. If you would like to see how the surronding areas, the roads, the top of this mountain and the views from this mountain look like, check the link below:

This park is magnificent. The hikes of varying lengths, 30 min to 8 hours. Our visit in February was very warm and our 90 minute hike turned out to be 2 hours and 20 min! There were 3 view points, that were spectacular but the remaining time was throughout dense bush, barely clear of cactus and bushes. The view points involve dozens of rough hewn corral steps, up and down. These are challenging hikes, not for the faint hearted, requiring lots of water and good shoes. It is worth a visit.

Really recommend being on the spot at 6 am. It will take some time before you get the tickets. The journey to the start on the Mt Christofel trek took another 10 minutes. The tour is not as difficult as it is written. We like to walk in the mountains, but at the same time we are not super-athletes, yet we would have mastered the route in less than an hour if you were carrying groups with small children and people in sneakers ahead of us. But the views are really worth it!!!
