Our Visit to Seru Largu - Bonaire

 Seru Largu is among the most romantic and popular viewpoints on the island of Bonaire. It is a raised hill point (the fourth highest in Bonaire) that offers a mesmerizing view of both the lovely town of Kralendijk and the islet of Klein Bonaire. Seru Largu translates to “Large Hill” in Papiamentu and is referred to locally as “The Mountain. ”


Many individuals ascend this hill to hike, arrange a romantic date, capture photos, or simply to seize the chance to appreciate a broader view of the island of Bonaire. At the summit of the Seru Largu hill sits a Christian monument known as the Millennium Monument. Its name originates from the fact that it was erected on the hill in the year 2000, at the beginning of the millennium, by the Council of Churches on Bonaire.



The monument is a structure painted in yellow and white, featuring a large white cross on its summit. Owing to its high and central location, it is easily seen from various areas of the island. Inscribed on the monument are the words "Kristu Ayera Awe Semper" in Papiamentu, which translates to Christ, today, yesterday, and forever. If you desire to reach this location, you can hire a car and travel up the Seru Largu hill for excellent photo opportunities at the monument or of the broader landscape of the island.
