Ellen Cochrane Herrera, a lovely Bonaire native, invites visitors to tour her countryside home, Kunuku Rooi Lamoenchi, which has been in her family more than 100 years. She leads the two-hour walking tour herself every morning and afternoon, and tells interesting stories about life on the former plantation as she explains the antique tools, furniture, and household items, which are all original to the property.
After touring the house, guests visit the grounds, an old slave wall, a dam built by hand in 1908, and aloe fields. The countryside is lovely, and it is quite possible to wander aimlessly for hours through the woodlands, discovering indigenous plants and breathtaking views of the ocean. The house is located in the countryside east of Kralendijk and not marked on most maps.
You can easily become lost, so ask for a brochure with a map at the activities desk of your hotel or call Ellen for directions. Tour times vary, so call ahead to make reservations. The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for children between the ages of six and 12.
