Curacao / Special Interests

By Jane Anderson

The ‘C’ in the former ABC Islands, and now a special municipality of the Netherlands, Curacao is best known for its specialist Dutch architecture in the capital, Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is much culture and heritage to explore here before heading out to the beaches where the emphasis is on scuba diving and snorkelling. On land there is exhilarating hiking and biking with birds to spot along the way.
