Westpunt Hike: Playa Kalki, the Tomasito Cave and Watamula

Westpunt Hike: Playa Kalki, the Tomasito Cave and Watamula – Westpunt, Curaçao

Ingrid Hiking Tours · Westpunt

Hike the rugged far west of Curaçao with Ingrid: from Playa Kalki to the Tomasito cave, along the coral cliffs to Watamula, where the sea breathes up through the rock. A round of about 7 km in about three hours, with stops to talk, rest and take photos.

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

You meet Ingrid at Westpunt at 6:45 in the morning, before the heat.

The Tomasito cave: a mysterious cave with unique formations and an impressive atmosphere.

Along the coral cliffs, with Playa Guepi, a hidden beach, below.

Watamula, the breath of Curaçao: the waves force the sea up through a hole in the rock plateau.

Back to the start: nature, adventure and culture in one round of about 7 km.

Good to know

About 7 km, about 3 hours.

Level: moderate.

Playa Kalki can be reached by car, but parking there can be limited.

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.
