Probably one of the best hikes on the island is to the top of Christoffel Berg. Make sure to arrived before 10am at the Park's ticket office, or you won't be allowed to do the trek. Bring enough water, since the sun and the elevation gain will make this hot, hot, hot!
Worth to visit and combine drive and walk. Both trails are with breathtaking views and very various nature. Definitely go there early morning for more enjoyable visit. For climbing Christoffel mountain is a must. Take water with you or there is always some available at the shop. We were also given good advices by the reception. Plan at least two halfdays to see the most of the park.
If you love nature and hiking, Christoffel berg is good for you. The highest mountain on Curaçao. There is also the museum to see a little bit of our culture. There's also food and drinks to chill after hiking. #DushiCuraçao
Awesome park, you gotta love the road that goes to the mountain, it's a self-drive rollercoaster! Don't forget to climb the mountain, its worth it 100%
You wanna hike? This is the place to go. Has a beautiful view on top and you will definitely feel satisfied once you reached the top. WARNING: If you are going with kids, please go with a first aid kit. Actually, do that even if you are not a child. Every time I've hiked Christoffelberg someone always gets hurt somehow. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Whether its stepping down wrongly or losing balance and falling on a cactus. Just go prepared.
Had a fantastic hike up the hill. Really worth while.
mount Christoffel is worth the effort it took to climb. Spectacular view!
I've lived in the neighborhood of this national park for as long as i can remember and i can tell you this: it's natural beauty is definitely something you wouldn't want to miss out
Very beautiful park, great views, but be careful driving, as parts are *very* steep. Also, if you want to climb Mt. Christoffelpark, arrive by 6 am or it'll be too hot. They don't allow hikers after 10am anyway
Staff are helpful and very knowledgeable and if you're going to walk up the mountain there is a 375m vertical ascent at the top which they seem to forget to tell you about
Strenuous but fulfilling hike up the Christoffelberg
The hike to the top is no joke. Seriously.
Fabulous views from the top! If you are climbing be prepared for a couple of hours up, and an hour and a half coming down, no the hour they tell you. Take LOTS of water!
Fun little hill to climb with a rewarding view once you reach the top. Make sure to go early in the morning, as the humidity will make for an excruciating experience otherwise.
Very nice climb to the highest point in Curaçao. As you climb look around to enjoy the fauna and beautiful sites. Remember to bring enough water and remember that you can not ascend after 11am, due increased heat that time of day. Bring enough water but there is extra water available at the base.
Rather expensive, but for a good purpose. The driving along the route is great fun. Recommendable in 4x4 cars for fun
It's a nature concervation. You will see trees and animals that you won't see anywhere els on this island. Next to that one can also injoy a nice day @ the beach there.
Had a great time hiking in the park and climbing the mountain. If you want to walk however you have to enter the park before 11am otherwise it will take you too long to return. A liter of water per person is highly recommended.
Loved the car tour. Had some awesome stops :) beautiful views And swimming.
Amazing mountain to hike with breathtaking view on the island! Be aware:
- have some good basic endurance/basic strength for the climb (1,5 - 2 hrs for roundtrip)
- it's about 90% rocks, 10% other
- wear good shoes
- the elevation is quite intense in short distance
- go early morning when you know it will be a sunny day
- definitely put sunscreen on, since you can get easily sun burned even with clouds (our mistake)
- have a good breakfast + lots of water beforehand, for enough energy/power
Extensive park with both a north and a south side. Can be discovered both by car and on foot. South side has a nice hiking trail to the top of the Christoffel mountain.
I have climbed this mountain twice by my own, from the entrance to the top of the mountain, it's really hot and dry You have to drink a lot of water. You will enjoy the view, magnificent and magic.
