Stopped by on our way around the island, really something to see ! Great place to take some pictures on your island tour.
Loved this side of the island. Great views. Salt ponds and mounds were really interesting. Saw a few flamingos. Lighthouse was interesting. Several shore dives along this road. Slave huts were eye opening. Hard to believe that people lived there! Worth the short drive.
Once a crucial part of the salt trade, this area contains tiny "houses" where slaves were allowed to rest between shifts. The signage does an excellent job explaining the process and how the slaves lived and became free.
It is nice to knw a little bit of bonaire.. This is the slaves house long time ago.. and they still manage to preserve it. Ots nice to see thing like this.
Worth a short visit. It is important that these huts are maintained to remind us all that history should not repeat itself. Amazing how the slaves were able to survive these conditions.
The white-painted huts give a tough look into the inhumane conditions endured by slaves working the salt flats over 100 years ago. Important historical site to see, it reminds you of the many unfortunates who slaved away to enrich the wealthy few in the Caribbean/West Indies generations ago.
Salt workers/slaves lived in these small houses very impressive to see that people treated each other like this
You can take a taxi tour here from downtown Kralendijk, or possibly even the airport for a reasonable price. It is my understanding that many of the taxi drivers are trained tour guides and they can tell you some of the history behind these slave huts.
Um dos lugares interessantes para conhecer em Bonaire... Dar a volta na parte sul da ilha permite conhecer as salinas, ver flamingos (dependendo a sorte) e conhecer as "moradias" dos escravos... Passeio rápido e muito interessante... Apesar de ser triste imagina-los vivendo nestas casinhas, nãoi deixa de ser interessante...
Deze slavenhuisjes zijn een van de weinige plekken op Bonaire die wij hebben getroffen waar je geconfronteerd wordt met het slaven-verleden van het eiland i.r.t. zoutwinning. Zeker goed er even uit te stappen en rond te kijken, het is wat moeilijk te geloven dat hier meerdere mensen in hebben kunnen wonen. Verder is er echter niet veel te doen, anders dan de lege hutjes en 1 plakkaat met een kort tekstje erover te lezen. En het mooie uitzicht te aanschouwen, maar dat uitzicht is niet anders dan elders op het eiland.
