Ultimate Curaçao Experience: A Journey of Culture, Taste & Tradition!
This unforgettable adventure begins at our charming shop on Heerenstraat 13, nestled in one of Curaçao’s most historic and vibrant streets. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the island’s warm and welcoming spirit! We’ll kick things off with an introduction to the island’s story, politics, art and culture while we enjoy a delicious local beer. Get ready, because this is just the beginning of an extraordinary journey!
Our first stop is a sensory delight! Dive into the rich flavors of Curaçao with an exclusive liquor tasting experience. You’ll uncover the fascinating story behind Curaçao’s world-famous Blue Curaçao, made from the aromatic laraha orange. But tasting is believing—so prepare to sip, savor, and appreciate the distinct types of this drink that make this local spirit truly unforgettable!
Learn about local art: Chi chi Dolls, Ayai and Kabritu
Next, we’ll step into some hidden gems of Curaçao’s artisan scene, as we will visit some workshops where the most traditional and local sculptures are made! Here you will learn everything about them, from their origins and body positive meaning to how they are fabricated and painted.
Join us for a flavorful journey as you sip on The Quenepa, a beloved local cocktail crafted with smooth cane rum and a tropical blend of lemon, passion fruit, and other island delights. As you enjoy this refreshing drink, you'll uncover the story behind its ingredients and cultural roots.
After the tasting, we’ll take you on a private walking tour to discover a few hidden gems nestled in the heart of the city — the kind of places only locals know. It's the perfect mix of flavor, history, and adventure.
Our adventure continues with an eye-opening visit to Aloe Vera! Learn about this miracle plant—its cultivation, healing properties, and how it transforms into the soothing products loved around the world. But you won’t just learn about it, you will also cut it directly and learn how to correctly apply it. You’ll never look at Aloe Vera the same way again!
For our final stop, we will return to our artisanal espadrille shop, where history, craftsmanship, and celebration come together! Step into a world where these iconic shoes—dating back to Spanish colonial times—are still handcrafted with love. Enjoy a live demonstration, feel the rhythm of lively music, sip on a refreshing drink, and select your own pair of classic stylish espadrilles to take home—all included in the experience!
We recommend this experience as the ideal first step into the city’s vibrant culture. Along the way, we’ll share local tips and personal recommendations to help you savor every moment of your time on the island.
The workshop will be held in Punda, just across the Queen Emma Bridge from the cruise port, right behind Iguana Café.
Join us on this one-of-a-kind journey and experience the true heart and soul of Curaçao like never before!
