2 Best Sights in Curaçao

The island's successful CurAloe line of products is sold in shops throughout Curaçao. On a visit to the company's plantation (admission is free), you can see more than 100,000 plant specimens, learn about aloe's myriad cosmetic and medicinal applications, and sample and purchase products. Informative videos tell the story; a helpful staff answers questions.

Though ostriches are not native to Curaçao, the island is home to one of the largest ostrich farms outside of Africa. Guided safari tours depart every hour. You'll learn about the bird's development from egg to maturity. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the chance to hold an egg, stroke a day-old chick, and sit atop an ostrich for a memorable photo. At the Restaurant Zambezi you can sample ostrich meat specialties and other African dishes. A combo safari and tour of the farm, which includes lunch or dinner, is also available, as are quad tours that cover more of the countryside. The Special African Nights package includes a visit to the aloe farm, ostrich facility tour, and three-course dinner with pickup and drop-off at your hotel. The souvenir shop sells crafts made by local artisans.
