The Christoffel National Park is the largest and most biodiverse park on the island. In the park you can find stunning nature, the Christoffel Mountain, beautiful birds, the national white tailed deer and wonderful hiking trails. We offer tours, guided hikes, and seasonal activities. Inside the park you can find the Savonet Museum.
Savonet Museum
The Savonet Museum, which is housed in a 17th-century plantation house, tells you the story of the Savonet Plantation and the adjacent Savonet area. The story begins with the first inhabitants of the area: the Arawak Indians and goes on to the slavery period, the abolishment of slavery, and the independence of Curacao in 2010. The main focus of the museum is the lives of the former slaves and later ‘workers’ of the Savonet Plantation, the lives of the owners, and the interaction between these two groups.
In the Christoffel National Park you can explore:
- Stunning Nature
Nature lovers will find the park teeming with birds and plants. You will probably see species that are not easily seen elsewhere on the island. The park harbors a rich variety of local flora and fauna.
- Hiking & Climbing
An abundance of hiking trails to choose from. A relaxed stroll or a more advanced trail, there is something to do for everyone! Climbing the Christoffel Mountain is one of the most popular – and more advanced – hiking trails in the park.
- Interesting History
Visit the Savonet Museum located in “Landhuis Savonet” inside the Christoffel Park. Get inside information and a peak into the lives of the former inhabitants of the area.
- Safari & Guides
There are many ways to explore the park at your own pace and time, however if you are looking to dig a little deeper into the history, flora and fauna of the park, we recommend you to join us on one of the guided hikes or (jeep safari) tours.
