About Curaçao
Curaçao, the largest of the ABC islands off the coast of Venezuela, surprises with a unique blend of Dutch colonial history, Caribbean flair, and over 35 stunning beaches. Willemstad, the UNESCO-protected capital, enchants with its colorful merchant houses along the Handelskade and the floating Queen Emma Bridge. Unlike the neighboring islands, Curaçao is not a typical package holiday island, but offers a diverse experience: from hidden coves like Playa Knip and Klein Curaçao to the Hato Cave system, the Aloe Vera plantation, and ostriches at the Ostrich Farm. The island lies outside the hurricane belt and offers sunshine year-round. The Curaçao liqueur factory Chobolobo is home to the famous blue drink. Divers rave about the over 60 dive sites accessible directly from the shore.
