Round the Caracasbaai Peninsula Hike – Caracasbaai, Curaçao

Ingrid Hiking Tours · Caracasbaai

Round the Caracasbaai peninsula with Ingrid: rough paths, playful rocks, viewpoints that leave you quiet and beaches that suddenly appear, with Fort Beekenburg and the quarantine house as a bonus at the end. About 7 km in about three hours.

Send your date and the number of hikers; Kua Kaminda passes your request to Ingrid. Once she confirms, you pay USD 10 a person online to book and her own price, USD 20 or EUR 15 a person, to her on the day.

Your hike

Rough paths and playful rocks from the very first metres.

Viewpoints that leave you quiet, and beaches that appear as if hidden just for you.

At the end, a bonus: Fort Beekenburg and the quarantine house; with enough time we visit them too.

Good to know

About 7 km, about 3 hours.

Level: moderate, you need a little fitness.

You need a little fitness for this one, but every drop of sweat is worth it.

A group hike with Ingrid: at most 12 people, so everyone can hear her and she can keep an eye on everyone.

An easy pace of about 3 km an hour, with stops to talk, rest and take photos.

Ingrid confirms where to meet with your date.

Prefer a hike with just your group? Ask for a private hike: Ingrid fits the route, the pace and the time of day to your wishes.
