Curacao
The coastline along the
south is irregular, peppered with small bays and inlets, including
the spectacular bays and beaches at the west end of the island. The
largest bays are located along the central-east and east end of the
island, where you'll find the capital and major port of Willemstad.
Most of Curacao's 170,000 residents live in and around this historic
town
After you get yourself outside of the sometimes busy Willemstad,
driving around to find the sights of Curacao is easy. You'll find
plenty to see and do in the cunucu (countryside). Just north of
town, near Hato International Airport, are the Hato Caves, The
caves, gouged out of limestone cliffs ages ago as the island emerged
from the sea, are still forming, albeit by one drop at a time.
You'll see water dripping from the walls and massive stalactites
that hang from the ceiling. |
