Landhuis Noordkant and the Sunken Forest Hike
Ingrid Hiking Tours · Noordkant
The untouched nature and history of Curaçao’s north coast: an old slave wall of coral stone, the colonial Landhuis Noordkant, which kept cattle rather than crops, and a rest halfway on the rugged coast to feel the power of the sea.
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
An old wall of coral stone, built by enslaved people as a boundary: a reminder of Curaçao’s past.
Landhuis Noordkant, a plantation that kept cows and chickens rather than crops.
Native plants such as the kadushi cactus and calabash trees, and with luck parakeets.
Halfway, a rest on the rugged north coast, with the waves crashing against the rocks.
Good to know
About 3 hours.
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.
What to bring
Sunscreen
At least a full litre of water

A cap and sunglasses
Long trousers if you would rather not get scratched
