Curaçao offers some very interesting and tasty products. Today, you will learn about and sample some of them.
Depart the pier and drive to Integra Natural, where you can shop for locally-made products and get to know the story of these hard-working local entrepreneurs.
Your next stop is the Aloe Vera Farm, where a local guide will tell you about the plantation, the farm and the healing effects of aloe vera. You will see the process of extracting the aloe juice from the plant and, in the shop, you can purchase products containing this natural product if you wish.
Head to the Chobolobo mansion -- the original distillery for Blue Curaçao liqueur. The machinery on site is still used today to make the delicious range of Curaçao drinks, and your guide will tell you how the distillation process works. You will also have a chance to taste it for yourself and buy the liqueurs.
Your tour ends with a panoramic drive through Willemstad's city center, past fascinating buildings and colorful mansions built in the old Dutch colonial style. Drive through the heart of the historical Scharloo district in the city center. This is the historical former Jewish Quarter and boasts many beautifully-restored mansions that are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Passing over the bridge, take in the perfect view of the harbor and the city center.
Notes:
Minimum age to sample liqueur is 21 years. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
