Taxi to Christoffel National Park Sunrise Hikes, Deer & Panoramic Views

Christoffel National Park covers the rugged northwest of Curaçao. The summit of Mt Christoffelberg at 372m is the island's highest point — worth the early start and the 55-minute drive from Willemstad.

About Christoffel Park

Curaçao's Largest Nature Reserve

Christoffel National Park is the island's largest nature area, covering 1,800 hectares of the northwest peninsula. The centerpiece is Mt Christoffelberg — at 372m, the highest point in the Dutch Caribbean islands (excluding Saba). The summit hike takes 2–3 hours round trip and requires an early start to beat the heat.

The park is also home to the rare white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus curassavicus), iguanas, and over 100 bird species. Entry requires a fee paid at the visitor center.
