What you will visit:
Old Labor House, "Kas di Pal'i Maishi," & Museum
Here, your guide will explain for you in an entertaining way about life on Curaçao in the old days. Locals will show the traditional use of the abundant cactus plants as well as perform a short folkloric song and dance. You can try the typical island headwear, which will give you a great vacation picture. Also, your guide will demonstrate how to carry a bucket on your head, and if you like, you can try it yourself.

Boka Tabla
At this national park, the sea has carved a natural arch out of the volcanic coastline, and the powerful surf causes the waves to crash forcefully on the rock formations. The sight and sound of this natural phenomenon will take your breath away. Continue to West Point for a photo stop and enjoy the view over the Caribbean Sea at Playa Forti, a volcanic black-sand beach with West Point village in the background. Continue to what is considered the most beautiful tropical beach on the island. Knip Beach is a natural white-sand beach, with a stunning turquoise sea surrounded by dramatic volcanic hills. The water is so crystal clear that you can often see the beautiful fish swimming in it. This is the perfect spot to take vacation photographs.

What you will see along the way:
Willemstad
The port of Willemstad is alive with historic treasures. One of the six UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Caribbean, it was selected in 1997 because of the city's dedication to the preservation of culture and its multicultural community that has grown over three centuries. The architecture and ambiance of Willemstad reflect influences from around the globe. Notable sights include the unique floating marketplace; Fort Amsterdam, a World Heritage Site strategically built in 1635 to guard the vital harbor from enemy ships; and the Queen Emma floating bridge, supported by 16 pontoons, that swings open to allow ships to access the port.

Photo Opportunity:
You might be lucky enough to capture a pink flamingo strutting its stuff along the salt lakes of Jan Kok. A photo stop at this area includes the home of Jan Kok. Built in 1840, it is one of the oldest land houses in Curaçao.
