In the vicinity of the city and on its territory, there are a lot of luxurious plantation villas. One of the most beautiful is the Villa Landhuis Papaya. This wonderful mansion with a pink façade was built at the end of the 19th century. During the years of its existence, it practically did not change. About 20 years ago, the historical building was restored and a rehabilitation center where former drug addicts are being treated today was opened in its walls.
Among natural attractions, it is worth noting Mount Sint Christoffel, as well as the national park formed around it with the same name. The height of this mountain is 375 meters. The ascent to its summit remains one of the favorite entertainments for active recreation fans. The top of the mountain offers a stylish panoramic view of the island, and on foot a lot of exotic plants and typical inhabitants of the animal world can be seen. This mountain is also an important archaeological site. Ancient petroglyphs were discovered on its slopes. Experienced travelers note that it is best to admire the national park at sunrise or at sunset; in these hours Mount Sint Christoffel looks the most spectacular.
