Curacao
Curacao is the largest of the five islands in the Netherlands Antilles.
Shaped like the arched wings of a great heron, it is located 56
kilometers (35 miles) north of the coast of Venezuela (which explains
why it was long a tourist haven for Venezuelans before the rest
of the world discovered it). The entrance of the harbor splits the
main downtown area of Willemstad into two.
Curacao is an excellent spot for diving, it also offers intimate
beaches, shops, excellent restaurants, and lively casinos. Downtown,
which is well developed and recently renovated, is the hub of Curacao
shopping, and its vibrant colors and pastel-house facades are true
picture ops.
