East Side Tour and Tasting

Prepare for an exhilarating adventure as you delve into the beating heart of the island - Willemstad. Your expedition kicks off with a captivating exploration of the Otrobanda district, a vibrant residential enclave that provides a window into the daily rhythms of the capital. As you traverse this area, the stunning St. Anna Bay unfurls before you, a natural divide that gracefully cuts through the heart of the city. Behold the UNESCO-designated kaleidoscope of vibrant facades that comprise the city's backdrop, each a testament to its rich history. Your voyage also leads you through the storied Jewish neighborhood of Scharloo, a testament to the multicultural tapestry of Willemstad.

Brace yourself for an adrenaline-pumping experience as you conquer the iconic Queen Juliana Bridge. Towering an astonishing 200 feet above the azure waters, and stretching an impressive 1663 feet in length, this bridge promises an unmatched thrill. From this sky-high vantage point, a 360-degree spectacle of Willemstad sprawls beneath you, etching an indelible image in your memory.

Get ready to be captivated by the allure of the 19th-century Landhuis Chobolobo, a cherished country estate that stands as a jewel in Curacao's tourism crown. Engage in a mesmerizing 15-minute guided tour that reveals the inner workings of the distillation process. Following this immersive journey, indulge in a moment of sheer delight as you savor complimentary tastings of the uniquely crafted liquors, each resonating with the essence of the locale. With time at your disposal, feel free to explore the picturesque estate at your leisure, perhaps even acquiring a precious bottle to forever seal this exceptional experience.

As you move on to the Mambo Boulevard, prepare to be swept away by the breathtaking tableau of the towering Table Mountain, its summit soaring to a staggering 3,366 feet. Descending from this natural wonder, the island's colonial legacy comes alive through a collection of resplendent country houses. These architectural marvels, vestiges of a bygone plantation era, seamlessly blend elegance with tropical practicality. Today, many of these gems have been honored as historical landmarks, testaments to their timeless allure.
