An Island of Diversity

Curaçao is a place where different worlds converge. The original Arawak Indians walked here six thousand years ago, followed by European explorers and African slaves. This mix of cultures has created a unique atmosphere that you can feel throughout the island.

Language that Connects

Walking around Curaçao, you’ll hear a mix of languages that reflect its rich history. Dutch is the official language, but Papiamentu is the soul of the island. A colorful Creole language that brightens daily life with lively conversations and cheerful greetings. Spanish and English are also widely spoken on the island.

Dance to the Rhythm of Tumba

Music and dance are as important here as the sun shining. The rousing Tumba music fills the streets during Carnival and other festivities. Dance with the locals and feel the rhythms of the island in your heart. In many different places you can take dance lessons or go to a festivity and dance with the locals!

A trip to Curaçao is not complete without sampling the local cuisine. From Keshi Yena, a savory cheese dish, to Funchi, a delicious corn dish, every bite is a journey through the flavors of the island. Try the fresh seafood dishes and discover why eating here is a feast in itself.

Hospitable Arms and Warm Smiles

But the real highlight of Curaçao is the people. Hospitality is in their DNA. On every street corner, in every café and on every beach, you are greeted with warm smiles and kind words. Whether you chat with the market vendors or listen to stories from locals, you’ll feel right at home here.
