Curacao<\/div>
\n
\n\t<\/i>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/2″][vc_column_text]Curacao, part of the Dutch Antilles, is located in the south of the Caribbean Sea about 60 kilometers off the coast of Venezuela. This Caribbean island, with a size of 472 square kilometers, is the largest of the so-called ABC islands (islands under the wind), which include Aruba and Bonaire. The island of Curacao is about 64 km long and 16 km wide (at its widest point). The northern coast of Curacao is rough and rocky and the island\u2019s constant strong winds create high waves that are perfect for surfers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/2″][vc_column_text]The golden sand beaches, however, along the 11 km south coast are tucked into many charming bays and are wind sheltered. Since October 2010, Curacao is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.\u00a0Curacao is also located outside the „hurricane belt“, so that the island is protected from these storms as well as earthquakes and floods. Therefore, one can comfortably visit the island at anytime during the year and expect daytime temperatures between 27 and 32 \u00b0C along with steady trade winds. The water temperatures are around 28 \u00b0C throughout the year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=“vc_default“ full_width=“stretch_row_content_no_spaces“][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=“vc_default“ full_width=“stretch_row_content_no_spaces“ margin_bottom=“20px“ bg_type=“bg_color“ bg_override=“full“ css=“.vc_custom_1533898181285{padding-top: 50px !important;}“][vc_column]

Hiking<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Not only does Curacao have a striking underwater world, but the island is also breathtakingly beautiful on land as well. For hiking enthusiasts, Christoffel National Park on the western side of Curacao is simply a must. There are numerous hiking trails of various levels of difficulty, and guided tours are also available. A highlight for fit hikers is the ascent to the top of Christoffel mountain. The flora and fauna in this nature reserve are incredibly diverse. Those who are not so good on foot can also explore the park on various selected car routes.<\/p>\n

Another paradise for hikers is the Shete Boka National Park, with its spectacular surf, secluded caves and coves that invite you to explore.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/3″ css=“.vc_custom_1519385942282{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.85) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}“]

Fishing<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]A variety of vendors offer you the chance to fish for mahi mahi, tuna, barracudas, sailfish and many more from multiple locations in Curacao and all from the comfort of a fishing boat or yacht. With most guides, you have the choice between half-day and full-day tours, and rental equipment for deep-sea fishing is usually available. To get an overview, take a walk along the marina.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/3″ css=“.vc_custom_1519385955426{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.85) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}“]

Golfing<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]During your holidays on Curacao, you can also use the perfect weather to play golf under blue skies and on beautifully located golf courses with fantastic views. There are 3 golf courses available on Curacao. The 2 18-hole courses (both 72 par) Blue Bay Golf and Beach Resort and Old Quarry at Santa Barbara Beach And Golf Resort can be reached from the Curacando holiday apartments in about 15 minutes and 30 minutes respectively.

The park can be explored by car, mountain bike or on foot. With approximately 500 different plants and about 80 species of birds, the grounds offer a rich variety of flora and fauna. The park also offers guided tours.<\/p>\n

          Many of Curacao\u2019s sights are rather small, but also charming and lovingly created. This makes it possible to plan multiple activities in one day.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=“vc_default“ full_width=“stretch_row“ bg_type=“image“ bg_override=“ex-full“ css=“.vc_custom_1534161991754{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.curacando-apartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/trenner-01.png?id=997) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}“][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=“36px“][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=“vc_default“ margin_bottom=“20px“ bg_type=“bg_color“ bg_override=“full“ css=“.vc_custom_1519386527403{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}“][vc_column]

A reef near the coast encloses the entire island. On many beaches, you only have to swim for a few minutes through shallow waters to reach the edge of the reef, which then drops like a steep wall into the depths.<\/p>\n

          Steady water temperatures of 25 to 28 degrees are ideal for the billions of small creatures that populate a coral reef. The water is also so clear that you can see up to 50 meters.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/2″][vc_column_text]In addition to all kinds of colorful fish, you will also find barracudas, turtles, seahorses, lobsters, eagle rays, octopus, nurse sharks or dolphins.<\/p>\n

          On many beaches, you will find dive centers that offer visitors all necessary equipment. There is also a resort-owned dive center at Villapark Coral Estate, as well as one at the nearby Porto Marie beach.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
