Jan Thiel Salt Lakes |

 Behind
the Chogogo Resort a walking trail leads to the salt lakes
of Jan Thiel, a beach situated in the east of Curaçao.
If you pass the narrow passage between the sea and the
inner lake, you can walk along the waterside all the way
to Seaquarium beach. Your walk lasts about an hour so
do not forget to wear comfortable shoes, sun protection
and some water. Walking though the path you can enjoy
beautiful sights along the beach, the lake and in the
countryside.

 If
you like to wander further from the generally known places,
you can visit a beach on the rough north side of the island
called Playa Kanoa. It is a place where surfers like to
meet. The small inner bay is a mooring place for local
fishermen. You can take a walk along the rough coastline
where high waves beat against the rocks. It is an adventure
to stand face to face with these natural forces.

Abou |

 Curaçao
can be divided into two sections: a developed section
consisting of much habitation and an open countryside
section called Banda Abou, a very beautiful and picturesque
area. Many country houses are built in Banda Abou. The
small villages worth visiting are Soto, Santa Martha,
Jan Kok, Lagun, Westpunt and Barber. These villages are
situated along one long road running through the western
section of Curaçao. You can often see pink flamingos
residing in Jan Kok. Special attention should be paid
to the many churches in the area built in tropical colours.
In the neighbourhood you can also see a small beach where
it is safe to swim, a fish depot and a small, lovely restaurant
that serves grilled meat or fish soup.
