 Lookout by kyoub
Come on one of Rincon's many festival days to sample local foods and dance to the beat of musical instruments made from goatskins.
When we were there it was a rainy day and the streets were almost deserted.
The view of Rincon was taken from the lookout point Alta Mira Unjo ( Uncle Joseph's View). Leave a Comment

Is that snow on Bonaire?
No, it's just the salt mine.
There is a conveyor belt that goes over the road to a pier for loading onto ships.
Next time you salt your fries, just think that it may have come from Bonaire.
Located close to Pink Beach.

 Slave huts by Vulindlela
It was really sad to see and imagine how horrible it must have been to have to live in these huts.
The Slaves were brought in from West Africa to work the salt ponds and were only allowed to rest on Saturdays.
Did you know?

 Whiptail lizard by kyoub
Found only on Bonaire, these lizards are quite used to people and will come out to see what you have to feed them.
Males have blue heads and greenish-blue hind feet and tail root. the females are mostly brown.
we fed them crackers but we saw a lady feeding them cucumbers so it seems they will eat most anything. Leave a Comment

 Goat skins by kyoub
The park can be toured by 4-wheel drive vehicle on the two well marked routes. The yellow route is 34km, the green route is 24km. The day we were there the long route was closed because of the roads being unpassble due to rain. The roads we did go on were bad enough and we couldn't have made it without the truck.

 Wilemstoren Lighthouse by Vulindlela
We could not find much info on this lighthouse while here but you can see that there was once a need for it, as it is located at the tip of some very rough seas.
Located past the salt ponds.
