Jan Thiel Salt Pans

Because some of our group had knee problems, we took an easy route to the Jan Thiel Salt Pans. Starting at the end of Kaya Damasco, we followed a narrow trail (trailhead is marked by a white stone) to the salt pans. This round hike took us about one hour.

A double "Bol" cactus. Rare on Curaçao, more common on Bonaire.

We walked to the other side of the salt pans and circled back to the trail to Kaya Damasco.
