The Tropical Paradise



The Island of Curacao lies in the Caribbean sea off the Coast of Venezuela. Its capital is Willemstad and it consists several islands, some unpopulated. The offical languages are Dutch, Papiamento and English though the spoken one is Spanish. With its 444 sq. Km area and 140, 000 inhabitants Curacao, meaning “heart” in Portuguese is a most beautiful tourist destination.

The Curacao island has a tropical temperature so casual clothes are advised, yet are not allowed in some of the casinos and restaurants where dress code is obligatory. There is good hygiene in the restaurants and there are no tropical illnesses on the island. You can feel free to choose whatever food you like yet sun protection is very important especially in the afternoon hours.
