Detailed itinerary
1
Mirador Tera Kòra is a scenic lookout tucked away in the quiet countryside of Curaçao. From the top, you’re treated to wide open views across the island, with rolling green landscapes and the deep blues of the Caribbean Sea stretching out in the distance. It’s one of those places that makes you stop, take it all in, and appreciate just how wild and beautiful Curaçao really is.
2
The Santa Martha Bay View Lookout Point offers a calm, postcard worthy view over Santa Martha Bay near the village of Soto in Curaçao. From up here, the wide bay, surrounding hills, and changing colors of the water come together in a scene that feels peaceful, remote, and unmistakably island-pure.
3
Tomasito Cave is a hidden limestone cave tucked away near Playa Kalki in Sabana Westpunt, Curaçao. Inside, you’ll find striking rock formations and a calm natural pool that feels worlds away from the busy beaches. It’s the kind of spot where you slow down, cool off with a refreshing dip, and walk away with photos that don’t look like everyone else’s.
4
Known for its soft white sand and crystal clear turquoise water, this beach is perfect for slowing down and enjoying the island at its best. Whether you want to relax on the shore, take a refreshing swim, or explore beneath the surface, it delivers. With great snorkeling and diving right off the beach, it’s just as appealing to laid-back beach lovers as it is to underwater explorers.
5
This is a fishermen bay, where you can swim with wild turtles
6
The Flamingo Sanctuary in Curaçao, also known as the Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary, is a protected natural area along the island’s southern coast. This saltwater habitat is one of the best places to spot flamingos in their natural environment, where they gather in shallow waters and add a splash of color to the rugged landscape.
