Caribbean, Mexican Riviera and Panama Canal
Willemstad, Curacao
Enjoy your visit to the capital of this former Dutch colony, divided in two by St. Anna Bay, the biggest harbour in the Caribbean. In Punda, the oldest part of the city, discover the beautiful 17th - and 18th-century Dutch-style architecture. Or stop by the floating market, so named because of the vendors who sail by sea from Venezuela each morning to sell their fresh vegetables, fruit and seafood.
Highlights
BOKA TABLA (Shete Boka National Park)
Boka Tabla, one of Curaçao’s most spectacular sites, was carved by the pounding surf over millions of years. A wide cavern has been formed underneath a limestone terrace where you can watch and listen to the surf roll in. The coastal scenery at the park is fantastic.
HATO CAVES
The caves were formed thousands of years ago when old coral reefs emerged out of the sea when the island was formed. The stalagmites and stalactites are still being formed today. Guided tours take you along gently sloping trails through the caves’ different chambers, including a freshwater waterfall.
MIKVE ISRAEL SYNAGOGUE
The Mikve Israel Synagogue is one of the most historic synagogues in the world. The synagogue is the oldest in continuous use in the Americas. Its remarkable architecture, solid mahogany interior, 18th-century copper chandeliers, and sand-covered floor have made it one of the best tourist attractions in Curaçao.
