Mountainbiking and golf
All the while a lot of tourist from Holland and other countries know that making a mountain bike tour is an ideal way of exploring Curaçao. Through the green area and the hills of the Western part of the island, with surprising views, along the rough North Coast with 'red' areas filled with cactuses and high rocks. Further more land houses and very special flora and fauna (flamingos) and of course the idyllic beaches on the South coast. Or the fascinating Eastern part, with salt lagoon lake areas (and also flamingos) where the rich history of Curaçao can be found. On this side of the island is also the trail of the UCI world cup what will take place at Curaçao in 2006.
Curaçao offers dozens of high quality mountain bike trails for riders of all levels. There is a map with the different trails available. Who can not bring their own bike can rent one on the island.
Tips for mountainbiking on Curaçao.

- Take a lot of water (2 bidons, camelbag)

- Prepare your bike in your own country with slim tyres.
