Curaçao

Curaçao sits in the southern Caribbean, close enough to the Venezuelan coast to feel the influence of South America in its food, music, and architecture. The island is arid and scrubby inland, with prickly pear and divi-divi trees bent by trade winds, while the coastline breaks into sheltered coves of clear turquoise water. Dutch colonial facades painted in ochre, coral, and mint line the waterfront of Willemstad, giving the capital its most recognisable character.

Overview

Curaçao is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, located in the southern Caribbean Sea north of Venezuela. The capital, Willemstad, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Culturally, the island blends Dutch, African, Iberian, and Latin American influences into something distinct from the rest of the Caribbean.
