Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary
Kralendijk, Bonaire, Caribbean
Detailed Information
The Pekelmeer, with the flamingo sanctuary in the middle of it, is one of only four areas in the world where flamingos breed! This salt lake, like the artificial salt pans, has a deep pink color that stands out sharply against the white salt flats and salt mountains.
Tourists are not allowed in this reserve, but the birds can be watched with binoculars from the road, near Pink Beach. The resting place also attracts dozens of other bird species, including the osprey, cormorants, herons and frigate birds.
