Explore Curaçao’s Leeward Legacy with the History Channel.
In partnership with the History Channel, delve into Curaçao’s historical significance as a hub of Leeward Island expansion and trade.
Begin at the Hato Caves, where stunning limestone formations and the famous Madonna statue reveal the island's geological and cultural history. Learn about the caves' significance to early inhabitants and observe the rare long-nose bats that call this ancient site home.
Return to Willemstad for a walking tour through its UNESCO World Heritage-designed city center. Pass the vibrant merchant houses along the quayside, symbols of Curaçao’s bustling trade era. Explore Fort Amsterdam, a historic bastion of Dutch power and now the residence of the governor of the Netherlands Antilles.
Cross the iconic floating bridge, a vital link between Punda and Otrobanda, and conclude at the Riffort, once a defensive stronghold and now a lively area of shops and cafes.
Notes:
Participants must climb 50 steps to access the caves. Wear sturdy shoes for uneven terrain.
