pekelmeer

We hired a tour guide in the square to take us to see the flamingos. Instead of going north like the ladies in the square told us we would see the flamingos, our guide took us south. He took us by the airport, which looks like a pink flamingo, past various beaches to the salt marshes and the towers of salt. There is foam along the ditches which looks like big snow drifts. It moves!! It is a very interesting site to see. You have what looks like snow on one side of the road and on the other side, there is a beach with kite surfers. We were also able to see a few flamingos in the marshes.

It is fascinating to look at the massive mounds of salt and learn about how the process works. The crystalizing ponds are an unusual pink color, adding to their intrigue.

The pekelmeer is an historical part of Bonaire with a very nice view. While enjoying the salt hills, salt foam, the pink colored water at one side, there is a beatiful beach at the other side. Divers can enjoy nice views of the under water world.

A cool thing to see while driving around the southern tip of Bonaire! Bought both bath salts and cooking salt from a store in town- very affordable and high quality!

If you're in Bonaire, and looking to see stuff, this is worth a look. Whether on a tour or by taxi, it's interesting to see another side of Bonaire. Taxi drivers do tours of Bonaire and will take you wherever you want to go on the island for a set hourly rate. If you're touring the south side of the island as I did, you will go by these salt flats on the main road.

Saly flats, salt mountains, pink lakes, and of course lots of sunshine. Also some most interesting former slave quarters. A must when in Bonaire.

we were driving to pink sand beach and other snorkeling and came across the salt mountains we had read about . it's very close to the some snorkeling places and the slave huts. We came during rainy season and snorkeled in the light rain .. the snorkeling was good.

You can see from a distance the saltmountains but around you have the lake in pink and blue. Amazing view ! The drive in the south of the island is great and you can see the difference between the see on both sides of the island.

Lots of photo ops..incredible drive from Belnem down south..snorkel along the way at Margate.

Het Pekelmeer is zo prachtig van kleur. Het roze water tegenover de felblauwe lucht en witte zoutbergen is fantastisch om te zien. Hier heb ik al heel wat fotomomentjes gehad.

De zoutvelden zijn geweldig om te zien en de rode gloed van het water is heel apart.En in de buurt zijn de slavenhuisjes,heel indrukwekkend,geeft je een vreemd gevoel, hoe ze daar in die kleine huisjes met meerdere woonde. Het is een bezoek echt waard.

É muito interessante ver a indústra de extração de sal funcionando, gerando verdadeiras montanhas de sal... De quebra, ao dar a volta na parte sul da ilha, é possível ver os flamingos em seu habitat natural nas lagoas a banhados da ilha... Muito legal...

Conviene venire qui, specie al mattimo presto, quando la luce del sole non fa risplendere troppo il bianco delle saline. Questo è un luogo dove incontrerete davvero poche persone e che vi farà apprezzare ulteriormente questo bel paesaggio su un lago rosa. Purtroppo l'altra faccia della medaglia è rappresentata dalle case degli schiavi nelle vicinanze (o più lontane) che dovevano lavorarci. Quindi alla bellezza dell'ambiente si contrappone la bruttura dello sfruttamento di persone; forse anche questo dovrebbe far riflettere.

Als je op Bonaire bent moet je dit gezien hebben. Deze bezienswaardigheid is niet "heel goed", maar verdient eigenlijk wel meer dan "gemiddeld", daarom een ruim voldoende!

Su vas a bonaire este es un lugar que no te puedes perder y esta dentro de los tours de la isla. Lita colores del agua son muy lindos Y las montañas de sal son espectaculares.
