Curaçao Independent travelers love Curaçao: it's easy to
get around and it's simple to move beyond the resorts to experience the
stream of everyday life. Start with a visit to Willemstad. Stroll through
the historic streets and alleyways, then walk across the Wilhelmina Bridge
to the Floating Market, where vendors sell fresh fish and vegetables from
colorful schooners. While you're in the city, make time for a visit to
Seaquarium, one of the Caribbean's finest marine exhibits. Beyond the city, unique attractions are found around the island. Boca Tabla, a sea cave carved by pounding Atlantic waves, is a good stop. Nature lovers should save time for a visit to Christoffel National Park, a wildlife preserve with 20 miles of trails that wind through local flora and fauna. Fast Facts: Language: Dutch; English and Spanish widely spoken Population: 148,000 Recommended for: historic sites, ecotourism Information: Curaçao Tourist Board, www.curacao-tourism.com
