What makes Seru Largu so special?

The name “Seru Largu” literally means “high hill” in Papiamentu – and that’s exactly what it is: a high place with a grand sense of tranquility and space.
How do you reach the hike?
Seru Largu is easily accessible. From Kralendijk follow Kaminda Gurubu in the direction of Rincon. About halfway, you will see the turnoff to Seru Largu clearly marked. You can drive all the way up by car, but those who prefer to go on foot can park at the bottom and walk the last part.
The road up is wide and paved – not an adventurous trail, but just fine for a relaxing morning or evening walk.
