overlooked by visitors. It\u2019s the rugged side of the island. You can&#8217;t swim there, it&#8217;s a maze of poor, unpaved roads, and if you even have phone reception, Google Maps will fail you. Yet, you shouldn&#8217;t miss the eastern part of Bonaire during your vacation! Here, you can enjoy the power of the ocean crashing against the cliffs. You will traverse unique landscapes and discover countless hidden gems. Above all, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of Bonaire\u2019s east coast.

This area is set up for agriculture. Agricultural activities on the island mainly take place around the rainy season. Only then is there enough rain to provide the plants with water. Irrigating with drinking water is too expensive, and the groundwater on Bonaire is too salty. Rainwater is therefore carefully retained with dams and in small ponds. This way, crops can still be irrigated for a while after the rainy season. Dam Grandi is the most well-known dam. Even at the end of the dry season, there is a freshwater pond behind the dam. Unfortunately, we find fewer and fewer of these places on Bonaire, as many dams are poorly maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Dam-Grandi.webp\" alt=\"Dam Grandi is an elongated dam in the north of Bonaire.\" class=\"wp-image-8686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Dam-Grandi.webp 1000w, https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Dam-Grandi-980x654.webp 980w, https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Dam-Grandi-480x320.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dam Grandi holds back a lot of water.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The somewhat brackish groundwater is suitable for livestock drinking water. Therefore, keeping animals is viable on Bonaire. Livestock farmers get the water from the pos, the well. On the well stands a windmill that pumps up the groundwater. As you drive through the kunuku, you will come across many of these wells. In the rural area of Bonaire, mainly goats are kept. This is often done by people who live permanently in the kunuku, or by retirees who drive from Kralendijk daily to take care of their animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pos-Bara-di-Karta.webp\" alt=\"Donkey drinking at Pos Bara di Karta in the kunuku of Bonaire.\" class=\"wp-image-8613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pos-Bara-di-Karta.webp 1000w, https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pos-Bara-di-Karta-980x654.webp 980w, https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pos-Bara-di-Karta-480x320.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The donkeys and goats know where to find the wells.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides being an agricultural area, this region has another important function. On weekends, the people of Bonaire retreat to the kunuku to enjoy the outdoors. Many families have their own piece of land where they meet on weekends. On this piece of land, there is often a simple house, a canopy, or a sea container that serves as shelter from the sun or rain. Such a shelter is also called a kunuku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life on the kunuku is entirely back to basics. The area is not connected to water or electricity. Many small farms have a large water tank that is filled once a week by the drinking water company. Solar panels are used to generate some energy, for example, to run a small refrigerator and to have some lighting in the evening. Furniture from the good house in town often gets a second life on the kunuku when it becomes worn out. There, it is used up completely. Life on the kunuku is simple but very cozy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Uitzicht-over-de-kunuku-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"View of the kunuku of Bonaire from the top of the hill &quot;Bara di Karta.&quot; In the foreground stands the concrete survey landmark.\" class=\"wp-image-2814\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View over the kunuku of Bonaire.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5dc0c9\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Exploring the East Coast of Bonaire<\/strong><\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To safely explore the east coast of Bonaire, you need good knowledge of the local roads and conditions.
