Curacao's African Heritage

There's a lot of history in Curacao, and this island trek will introduce you to the area's African heritage. On this educational tour, you'll go off the beaten path to experience places away from the traditional beaches and other touristy fare. Embark on a memorable journey and leave enlightened.

Your tour departs from the cruise ship terminal and heads north, where you'll visit an African museum known as Ascension. As you walk through the halls of this venue, you'll get to see the living history of slaves after the institution was abolished in the 1800s. A 30-minute ride from the museum will lead you to another museum, Kas di Pai I Maishi. (Translation: "The cottage with a roof made of corn stalk.") In this museum, the sights focus on the regular daily life of the African people. All in all, you'll learn about more than 370 years of history from the different stops as well as from your certified tour guide. Everything from African tools and traditions to colonial plantations are touched upon during your Curacao tour.

Other notable activities on the tour include a pumpkin pancake tasting and lots of photo opportunities. There isn't a dull moment on this expedition. Pack your camera, dress lightly, and get ready for an eye-opening Curacao African heritage tour.
