In warm climates, you have to drink a lot to keep hydrated, right? Liters of water, of course, but on Curaçao, you will also find a few typical drinks that taste like a holiday. So if you’re on the island, at least try these four.

There is fantastic snorkeling to be done around Curaçao. At many spots, you can walk straight into the water and enjoy tropical fish and even turtles within a few meters. If you’re looking for something a little more unique, head to the tugboat wreck at Tugboat Beach.

Sweaty and exhausted, I reach the top of the Christoffelberg (the Christoffel mountain). At its top height of 372 meters, I already know that I will have sore legs in the coming days. The climb is challenging but a welcome sportive change from beach bumming. And that panoramic view makes me forget the hardship on the way up instantly.
