Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
What you will visit:
Blowhole at Watamula.
Located at the edge of the sea, this geologic wonder creates quite a show! A hole in the massive coastal rock formation tunnels down beneath the water, so when a powerful wave rolls in, the force pushes a large blast of air and water up from the hole, making a loud sound that has been dubbed "the breath of Curaçao."
Indian Caves
Carved deep within the cliffs are a string of caverns where a fascinating formation of ancient rock can be seen which provides a tantalizing glimpse into the country's mysterious past.
Ostrich Farm
Curaçao's ostrich farm offers a unique opportunity to learn how these unusual birds live and breed. The ostrich is a flightless bird, native to Africa. It has a distinctive appearance – a long neck and legs – and the ability to run 45 miles per hour, which is the top speed for any land bird. Not only are they the largest living species of birds, but they lay the largest eggs. Experience the ostrich farm by safari Jeep with a local guide who will escort you to meet some of the farm's more than 600 birds. Help feed the ostriches and observe them in their natural habitat while learning about the life cycle of these fascinating animals. Perhaps you'll see baby chicks and hold a huge ostrich egg in your hands, and if you are lucky, you might witness the hatching of a baby ostrich. Before you head off to your next venue, be sure to visit the gift shop for a memento of the birds seen on this special day. Discover a wide array of African Caribbean souvenirs, including plain and decorated ostrich eggs.
