Curaçao is the largest of the five islands of the Netherlands Antilles
and lies in the Caribbean sea just 60 km off the Venezuelan coast
outside the hurricane belt.
For centuries Curacao has earned its
reputation in global Trade. Today the island still thrives on international
business with services ranging from oil refinery and export to international
financial services. This has given the island a cosmopolitan outlook.
Curacao has a rich cultural heritage and in December 1997 the
Historic
Area of Willemstad was
placed on the World Heritage List of UNESCO. Willemstad,
the capital of Curacao, is also the seat of Government.
Curacao is a real different vacation destination in the
Caribbean with shopping, heritage and culture as the main attractions.
Small, secluded beaches will give you a private experience with great
diving opportunities.
