Hi, I know it will take you down to Rincon. about 5 years back a friend of us drove up hill from Rincon, but I haven't been able to find that road on my own (and I keep forgetting to ask him.)

Thanks Martin. Any chance of your friend tipping the rest of us off as to where to find the entrance in Rincon? What is the road like? Steep? Paved? I could shoot myself for not checking this out when I had the opportunity. Any info much appreciated.

Aren't the mountain bike trails printed on a map somewhere?? InfoBonaire maybe, or one of the bike rental sites???

If you are going back to Sabadeco it can save time. If one is going back into Playa (town or resorts) it will not. Tobys analysis is very accurate in location but it is only partly concrete VERY STEEP and one is driving thru peoples back yards. Speed = dust = unpopularity. IF you are in a hurry use the main road if one is enjoying Bonaire the simple adventure of finding and experiencing this ride is sufficient reward.

We took the first right after getting on the 2-way road past Rincon. We drove up to the transformers at the top of the hill and then took the right turn immediately after. (using the old adage - follow the power lines).

Brian, Believe it or not, Smack convinced me to take this "shortcut" in February 2004. We went up the way you went down. I was so happy when we finally got to those transformers.
