Shete Boka National Park
DESCRIPTION: With more than 10 beautiful inlets where three species of turtles nest. Years ago, the environmental group Amigu di Tera arranged excursions in this area along seven bays. Hence, the name is taken, although in reality there are more than seven coves in this national park. The park begins at the beautiful Boka Tabla where large, unpredictable waves crush against an underground cave. Impressive eye candy.

Den Paradera
DESCRIPTION: Den Paradera refers to Paraguiri Indians who long ago had the biggest herb garden at the east side of the island. When the Spaniards came, they brought their slaves to the Paraguiri Indians to be cured and called the location ” En Paradera”. Later the local people changed this name into “Den Paradera” which means “the place where you feel at home.” After Dinah Veeris started research for healing herbs and traditions by interviewing older people to recover and preserve the secret knowledge of earlier generations. In 1991, she started the garden plant by plant. She wrote a book about the herbs and received several awards for her input in preserving the culture and the healing herbs.
