Christoffelpark

The Christoffel National Park extends across 4,500 acres of diverse terrain including hills, coastal plains, and dry forests with numerous native plant species.

Established in 1978, the park incorporates three former plantations: Savonet, Zorgvlied, and Zevenbergen, along with the Newton mining complex.

The Savonet Museum within the park presents exhibitions about plantation life and agricultural practices from the colonial period of Curacao.

Eight different hiking trails accommodate various fitness levels, with the mountain climb requiring an early morning start before 10:00 AM due to heat.

The park protects multiple endemic species, including the white-tailed deer and rare orchids that grow among ten-foot-tall cacti formations.
