The Caves of Tera Kora Hike – Tera Kora, San Pedro, Curaçao

Ingrid Hiking Tours · Tera Kora, San Pedro

A voyage of discovery to the caves of Tera Kora: up a beautiful stairway, over the plain of San Pedro to two hidden caves with stalactites, stalagmites, light falling in, and the bats’ bedroom. Bring a torch.

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

Up a beautiful stairway to the viewpoint.

Over the plain of San Pedro, rugged and desert-like, with cacti and red earth.

Two special, hidden caves: stalactites and stalagmites, the light falling in, and the bats’ bedroom.

Good to know

About 2½ hours.

The ground is uneven, rocky and can be sharp: wear sturdy walking shoes.

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 camera

A cap and sunglasses

Long trousers if you would rather not get scratched

Shoes with good grip: no flip-flops

A torch: it is dark inside the caves

How you pay

Ingrid first confirms that there is room on your date.

Then you pay USD 10 a person online to book.

On the day you pay Ingrid her own price: USD 20 or EUR 15 a person.

No other booking fees.

Cancellation and weather

Cancel more than 24 hours before the hike and your USD 10 a person is refunded in full.

Cancel within 24 hours, or do not show up, and it is not refunded.

If Ingrid cancels, for example for the weather, you choose another date or get your USD 10 back.

You pay Ingrid only on the day, so there is nothing else to refund.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a torch?

Yes: it is dark inside the caves, so a torch is a must. Sturdy shoes too, as the ground is uneven and sharp.

How do I book and pay?

Can we have a private hike?

Yes. Ingrid also walks with just your group, alone, with your partner, family or friends, and fits the route, the pace and the time of day to your wishes. For four people it is typically about EUR 100, paid to her on the day, plus USD 10 a person to book. Transport and a lunch can be added: ask in your request.
