Outdoor & Adventure
Curacao is great for snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, sailing, surfing, mountain biking and bird spotting. The Christoffel Park offers different activities.
In the Otrobanda area you can visit the Mangrove park. Mangrove areas are diverse and important ecosystems. Diverse underwater life, consisting of algae, sponges and other animals and plants, can be found on mangrove roots. A variety of marine fauna, including fish, crabs and lobsters, can be found in between and on these roots. You can explore the park walking with or without a guide or kayaking.
Car Rental
To explore Otrobanda and Punda you don’t need a car. But to enjoy the beautiful beaches or the rough north coast, you will need a car. We can help you find the right rental car deal.
In the alleys of Otrobanda parking spaces are scarce. You can park your rental for free next to the police station at a 2 minute walk.
Your hosts
We love Otrobanda
We are Ace, Open Source specialist and Programmer, and Rianne, Art Teacher and Web Designer and we have been living and working in Otrobanda since 1998.
Ace was born in Curacao and adopted and raised in the Netherlands.
Rianne fell in love with Curacao about 30 years ago during an internship and came back to work as an Art Teacher. In 1998 she bought this monument, or ‘project’.
After years of living and in this beautiful house together with our son Alex, with holes in the floors and leaks in the ceilings, and trying to fix it up, we managed to start with the complete restoration with the help of the local Monument Fund. Now the restored building houses a home for us, the office of Kuki+Ko, our web design business and Studio Kuki, where we welcome travellers, family and friends.
We know and love Otrobanda and Curacao and will make sure you will enjoy our beautiful island.
