Rincon
Bonaire's oldest village, founded by the Spanish in the 16th century, with colorful cottages, a church, and traditional festivals.
Rincon is tucked away in a northern valley. In the 16th century, Spanish settlers founded the village to escape pirates. It is Bonaire's oldest settlement, and it still preserves strong Creole traditions. The village has colorful single-story houses and a Catholic church. Nearby, you can visit the Mangazina di Rei Cultural Park and the Cadushy Distillery. Every year at the end of April, Dia di Rincon brings music, dance, and food, making it the largest festival on the island. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Kralendijk.
