Lonely Planet review for Washington-Slagbaai National Park

Covering the northwest portion of the island and comprising almost 20% of the land, Washington-Slagbaai National Park is a great place to explore. Roads are rough and all-but-impassable after a rain, but are well worth the effort. The terrain is mostly tropical desert, and there is a proliferation of cacti and birds. Entrance is about 5km (3mi) from Rincon.

Look for flamingos in the lowlands and parrots perched on shrubs near Pos di Mangel. Large bright green iguanas are just one of the many reptile species you might spot. You'll also see lingering evidence of the aloe plantation and goat ranch that used to be here - don't run over any wild descendants of the latter.

    how to discover the national park bonaire

    bonaire recommends this,

    The best way to discover the beautifull national park is to rent a suv 4 wheel drive car, it is safe to do it that way.
    I did it last month, there is only one company wo rent it on bonaire.
    you can findt it on www.islandcarrentalbonaire.com
    have a nice time on boanire and offcouse in the national park.
