Hello folks. I am heading back to Bonaire next week for my second, and much anticipated, visit. Although I visited Washington Slagbai National Park last trip (and loved it), I was simply enjoying diving too much to do much else topside.

I would like to get into the history of the island a bit more this time and am also interested in seeing the cave drawings. However, I don't know where on the island to find them. Can anyone point the way? Thanks so much.

6 days and counting!

On the road to Rincon there are inscriptions between the road and the ocean. There is a sign marking them. You can drive pretty close to them and then it is a short walk to the side of cliffs.

Jeff is absolutely right. There are just off the road from Rincon, just as it opens up to the ocean. Just look for the Sign "Indian Inscriptions". There are a couple of signs/monuments that describe the inscription and what they mean.

hello Kevin,

the ones Jeff and Fortunediver are pointing out are at Boka Onima, direction Rincon, there are also indian inscriptions at Boka Spelonk, direction Lagoen and then a tad off road to Spelonk.

have a look here at the island map:
