Cultural East & City Highlight Tour
The Dutch have left their lasting mark on Curaçao in many areas, but perhaps none as striking as the architecture. Nowhere else in the world outside of the Netherlands are there so many exquisite 17th and 18th Century Dutch colonial buildings. Early settlers brought with them all their traditions, including their architecture and their notion of what made a proper home. In time, styles were modified to fit the realities of a dry and breezy climate by incorporating Caribbean influences such as verandas, porches, fretwork and shutters and by adopting Caribbean colors. Especially beautiful are the restored mansions of Scharloo, dating from the 1700's. This neighborhood, along with the historic city center in Willemstad, has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, commemorating their unique value to the world's cultural and natural heritage. Stop for a free tasting at the Blue Curacao Liquor Factory (not on Saturday) and then head east to the rich and beautiful Spanish Waters Bay Area. Don’t miss your chance to buy nice presents for your family and friends at home at the Caribbean Handcraft & Souvenir Shop. Typical residential areas are also to be seen during the trip.
