What to do
Hike Chrisoffel Berg, Curaçao’s Highest Point @ 1,292 feet
Sweat, blow off steam, meditate on interesting geological formations, lichens, beard moss, bromeliads and orchids along the way. Cliff hang for the last 50-100 feet or so. Then enjoy some of the most spectacular views of the island! Chill out. Hydrate. Maybe fool around. Breathe. Dream. Imagine. Breathe some more.
Shout out to adorable Minnesota couple – Jenna and Micah – and their ‘Hiking Mt. Christoffel’ post:
