Mountain Biking (MTB), Rent a Bike, Tours
Curaçao is not just a beach, sun and sea destination. In addition to snorkeling, diving and sailing there is also the option of exploring the island on a bike. There are many beautiful, scenic mountain bike routes, through the salt ponds, along the rough Northern coast or over old plantation estates. These mountain bike routes provide new challenges and views every time you ride them. It is really worth the effort to explore and discover Curaçao on a bike.
The Mountainbike handbook Curaçao (in Dutch) sets out the different MTB and GPS routes. These routes are not always easy to find and follow: road signs are often missing. Therefore it's recommended to book a mountain bike tour. Experienced guides will take you to the most beautiful spots and can tell you about the nature and wildlife as well as the history of the area in which you are cycling. Mountain biking in Curaçao is also great with kids. It is also possible to join a training of one of the many local cycling clubs.
