Rincon Valley Visit with a local

Visit the oldest village on Bonaire and learn about its fascinating history!

About the Rincon Valley Visit 

When on Bonaire be sure to visit Rincon Valley. It is the oldest village on Bonaire and the oldest continual community on the ABC islands. Rincon was originally settled by the Spanish in the early 1500’s and strategically nestled within a valley to ward off impending danger from pirates and other threats. In the 17th century, slaves were brought to Bonaire and worked tending crops and the salt pans until 1863. Living in Rincon, the slave men would weekly walk a 7 hour journey south for work and then return on weekends to gather supplies at Mangazina di Rei (King’s store house), and visit their families. 

During your visit you will learn more about the fascinating history of Rincon from your local guide. You will also stop at the Kadushi distillery where you will be able to taste the local cactus liquor made on Bonaire for free. And before returning also visit a local restaurant called Posada. Here you can try native island food and get a taste for the local flavor. Please note: purchasing food is at your discretion and not included.
