flamingo spotting on Curacao

Schöne rosa Flamingos auf der Insel Curaçao

Sie haben sicher schon gehört, wie schön Flamingos sind. Die sind doch süß, oder? Im wirklichen Leben sind sie noch niedlicher. Die Insel Curaçao ist die Heimat einiger der beeindruckendsten Flamingos der Welt. Und jetzt können Sie sie auch sehen.

Hier gibt es viele verschiedene Orte, an denen man Vögel beobachten kann. Ein solcher Ort ist der Flamingo Park. Hier finden Sie viele Flamingos im seichten Wasser.
Wenn Sie noch mehr sehen wollen, gibt es in der Nähe einen weiteren tollen Ort. Sie wird St. Willibrordus genannt. Hier können Sie sowohl Flamingos als auch Reiher sehen. Man kann die Flamingos gut sehen, wenn sie sich an den Straßen versammeln. Wenn Sie Glück haben, können Sie sie aus der Nähe sehen. Sie sind scheu, also nähern Sie sich ihnen nicht und kommen Sie ihnen nicht zu nahe.

Einer der Orte, den die Leute oft vergessen zu erwähnen, sind ‚
Die Salzpfannen in Jan Thiel
‚. Übrigens ist dies ein großartiger Ort für einen Morgen- oder Spätnachmittagsspaziergang oder -lauf. Hier finden Sie eine Reihe von Flamingos in freier Wildbahn. Während Sie nach diesen Tieren suchen, können Sie die schöne, beruhigende und einzigartige Umgebung genießen (und eine Menge Kalorien für das leckere Essen und das Bier verbrennen, das Sie später zu sich nehmen werden).

    Der heilige Willibrordus und seine Flamingos

    Die Stadt Sint Willibrordus liegt direkt an der Westküste von Curaçao. Es ist eine kleine Stadt, aber mit großen Ambitionen. Wenn Sie näher kommen, können Sie das „Williwood“-Schild auf einem Hügel in der Ferne nicht übersehen (eine Curaçao-Version des berühmten Hollywood-Schildes). Es ist eine der beliebtesten Touristenattraktionen auf der Insel, da es eine Nachbildung des Hollywood-Schildes ist, das sich auf der anderen Straßenseite befindet. Nachts sieht sie aus wie eine riesige Glühbirne. Bald kommen Sie an den alten Saliñias von Rif-Sient Marie vorbei, einer ehemaligen Salinenplantage. Der frühere Standort ist heute ein geschützter Lebensraum für lokale Flamingoarten.

    Williwood

    Die schönsten rosa Flamingos der Welt sind im Dorf Williwood auf der Insel Curaçao zu finden.

    Hier befindet sich das berühmte Flamingo-Reservat. Hier gibt es etwa 400 Flamingos. Sie stammen aus Südamerika und leben in der Gegend um das Williwood-Zeichen.

    Im Jahr 2011 wurde der Name der Region aufgrund einer Petition von Einheimischen von St. Willibrordus in Willibrordus geändert. Dieser heißt jetzt offiziell Williwood.

    Willibrordus ist der Schutzpatron der Niederlande und sein Festtag wird jedes Jahr am 14. April gefeiert. Er ist einer der vier Apostel von Jesus Christus. Im Dorf steht St. Willibrorduskirche, die aus dem Jahr 1880 stammt.

    Alles, was Sie über diese wunderschönen rosa Flamingos wissen müssen

    Es gibt sechs Flamingoarten

    Es gibt sechs verschiedene Flamingoarten: den Amerikanischen Flamingo (den man auf der Insel Curaçao findet), den Großen, den Kleinen, den James, den Chilenischen und den Andenflamingo. Alle Flamingos gehören zu einer Familie namens Phoenicopteridae. Zu dieser Familie gehören Enten, Gänse, Schwäne, Störche, Reiher, Ibisse, Löffler, Lappentaucher, Kormorane, Möwen, Seeschwalben, Eisvögel, Pirols, Spechte, Tukane, Papageien, Kolibris, Adler, Eulen, Falken, Habichte, Geier, Milane, Bussarde, Pelikane, Kraniche, Strauße, Emus, Nandus und Pinguine.

    Flamingos sind rosa, weil sie etwas essen

    Flamingos gehören zu den schönsten Vögeln der Natur, aber ihre Farbe ist nicht nur ein schöner Anblick. Ihre leuchtenden Farben stammen vom Verzehr einer speziellen Algenart namens Dunaliella salina. Diese Alge enthält bestimmte Arten von Carotinoid-Pigmenten, die den Flamingos ihre charakteristische rosa Färbung verleihen.
    Die gleiche Carotinoid-Pigmentierung kommt bei vielen anderen Tieren vor, auch beim Menschen. Wir nennen es „Carotinoid“, und wir verwenden es in allem, von Lebensmittelfarben bis hin zu Kosmetika.

    Flamingo-Nester sind aus Schlamm

    Das Nest des Flamingos wird aus Schlamm, Stöcken, Gräsern und Zweigen gebaut. Die Eier sind durchschnittlich etwa 50 Millimeter groß und wiegen zwischen 2,7 und 3,3 Gramm pro Stück. Sie werden im Mai und Juni gelegt, und das Weibchen legt bis zu vier Eier pro Tag. Er baut sein Nest im flachen Wasser, in der Regel in Ufernähe, und bedeckt es mit Blättern und Schutt. Nach der Eiablage kehrt sie alle paar Stunden zum Nest zurück, um nach den Eiern zu sehen. Wenn es kein Futter gibt, fliegt sie los, um welches zu finden.

    Flamingos sind monogam, aber manchmal übernimmt das Männchen den Nestbau und die Bebrütung der Eier. Er hält Wache, während seine Gefährtin den Rest erledigt. Wenn die Küken schlüpfen, werden sie von beiden Eltern gefüttert. Wenn sie ausgewachsen sind, werden Flamingos bis zu 25 Jahre alt.

    Der Flamingotanz

    Das Wort „Flamingo“ leitet sich vom spanischen Flamenco ab und bedeutet „wilder Tanz“, da Flamingos beim Waten im flachen Wasser seltsame Tänze aufführen.

    Jede der sechs Flamingoarten führt während der Paarungszeit ihren eigenen einzigartigen Tanz auf. Sie haben jedoch alle eine Reihe von ähnlichen Schritten. Diese bestehen aus einem Ritual der Lichtung, gefolgt von einer Kopfwurfbewegung, die als „Fragmentierung“ bekannt ist. Dabei wird der Kopf seitlich von links nach rechts geworfen. Die Kopfwürfe sind nicht nur laut, sondern sollen auch dafür sorgen, dass jeder genau weiß, was passiert.

    Wow! In a word, great... top service. You will receive a very warm welcome from Miguel. From the start you feel more than welcome. That's because of the entire team and the atmosphere there. If there is a problem, they are immediately available to help you. Super nice accommodation, perfect location. You can explore the entire island with a rental car and you can park it safely at the accommodation. In short, more than satisfied with this accommodation!

    End of july we stayed for 9 nights at Kura Botanica, and to be honest it was a fantastic experience! A really calm, nice hotel near to the city center. Pleasant and enjoyable people with Miguel and Derrel in particular. Room was spacious, clean, nice and very good airco (really important). Breakfast at Bario is only 2 minutes away from the hotel, but doesn't bother at all. When you return in the afternoon or evening at the hotel then there is always Derrel at the bar who is curious about your day (we really missed him when he had his day off).Hotel is a recommendation when you want a calm nice clean hotel near to the city center (and when you want to meet the 2 nicest people in Curaçao 😁)

    I had a wonderful holiday here with my adult children. Enjoy breakfast at Restaurant Bario nearby, drink delicious cocktails from friendly bartender Derrel at the pool bar or relax in the pool. An occasional chat with charming Miguel, who also gave us new beach towels for the pool. We had a lovely time. Thank you!

    Very good hotel! Rooms are really 1000/10! The staff is super friendly and happy to chat with you, especially the sweet Miquel and Derrel. It is super clean and very well cared for! I would really recommend everyone to go here. Small is beautiful! A nice homely atmosphere and super nice that everyone has their own entrance to your “house”/room! The courtyard outside the hotel is also super cozy with small shops and restaurants! Hotel is in a perfect location! Only a few minutes' walk to Willemstad (you can get there within 5 minutes). Once again highly recommended!

    Smelled amazing when you walked in, couldn't help but smile. location is perfect. In the middle of it all but yet, private and quiet. I can't say enough about customer service! Miguel is absolutely wonderful, put a smile on my face every time we interacted. He was helpful and even walked us around to show us what was near the hotel.Best hospitality/customer service I have ever experienced and I have traveled all over the world.

    I have not experienced the rooms yet, but as an event, experiencing their service, attention and hospitality, they are doing a great job. The garden forms an amazing ambience for network meetings and private events. Definately recommended. Compliments to some of the waiters that are quite proactive and go the extra mile. Kudos to the team!

Within walking distance to restaurants and shops, you can also easily access Punda by walking to the floating bridge, great food and music everywhere!!

    Beautiful, nice and service-oriented boutique hotel in the heart of Willemstad.To be clear: If you book via Corendon: certainly not a 5* hotel (a good 4 is better). Missing some critical things. But they make up for it with great service!A quick summary of plus and minus pointsPlus:-Location. The heart of Willemstad. In the middle of restored Otrabanda. 15 minutes walk from Nieuwstraat. Nevertheless, very quiet.-Service: employees are super friendly and helpful.-Rooms. Rooms are clean and beds great. Nice shower. Are cleaned every day. And I mean really cleaned.-Nice poolside bar where there is a lot of chatting in the evening.-Adult only. Really nice.Minus:-No beach access. This is not something that you can blame the hotel for, but it is stated differently on the Corendon site. If you want to go to a beach, you will have to arrange that yourself. Otherwise they would have gotten 5 stars for location.-Swimming pool is quite small for 46 rooms. There are approximately 13 beds, so on busy check-out days: do the math.-Breakfast. They have outsourced breakfast to a restaurant nearby (Bario). Not a buffet but a la carte. During our stay we suffered from long waiting times. Kura management then took steps and things improved.-No gym.Extras:-If you stay here, it is wise to arrange a car for at least a few days.-Be informed by the hotel management about where to eat/be etc etc.

    Hotel with a beautiful garden, in the middle of a historic village. The service from the staff has always been friendly and multilingual. The room we stayed in was new and the bed was excellent!However, some problems were observed. They didn't replace the amenities for our last night, nor did they even collect a towel that was on the floor.The shower is also not separated from the rest of the bathroom, there is no curtain or shower stall which makes the bathroom wet. There was also a lack of support for soap and shampoo, which are on the floor.The parking lot is far away and you need to either walk with your bags or take your car close to the entrance and then return to the parking lot.But the worst thing for me was the breakfast. it is served in another hotel and there is no variety, it doesn't change between days, it is very simple and contained. You can just have a coffee and a juice and not repeat it. On the first day we were treated very poorly, even harshly, which made us not want to go back the next day.

    Great place to stay. Renovated only recently and rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and polite. Pool is a bit small but perfect to relax at the end of day. Or whenever you start your day later.Breakfast is in collaboration with a place 1min away and is taken good care off. Choices and taste are overall just good.They did tell Kura B is planning to build their own kitchen in the near future. But the 1min (literally) walk shouldn't trouble you.

    We are locals and wanted a relaxing escape from our usual routine. This place was extremely relaxing, with a beautiful pool surrounded by large trees to provide a great mix of shade and sun. The hotel is very well located with many great restaurants within a few minutes walk. The rooms are very well designed for an authentic Curacao experience. We would highly recommend a stay to both couples as to individuals visiting Curacao.

    I think this is best hotel in Curaçao!It is sweet and charming, the rooms are very clean and well kept. It is comprised of several buildings within the property. Vivid colours both inside and outside of the rooms. Lots of lush foliage and very serene, literally perfect for retreating from busyness and embracing relaxation.It’s tucked in Kura Hulanda village so there’s plenty to do and eat without walking more than 10 minutes but I recommend exploring nearby neighbourhoods like Otrabanda (where the hotel is), Punda and Pietermaai which are all walking distanceWhat’s most memorable is the keen hospitality of the KB team. I felt welcomed throughout the duration of my stay, not just upon arrival. They happily answered every question I had and was consistently kind and helpful.Janette, Teresa, Disney, Darrel, Rosalita, and the young lady w the cute headscarf that complimented my crocs - you guys are amazing!My only regret is leaving such a good review bc now I risk KB not being available when I return!

A drink, a snack in a quiet setting where most tourists have not yet found their way. A gem!Breakfast at Maira's kitchen was great!Thank you to all staff! You make the experience and trip even more beautiful.GreetingsKaren and Yannick

    Great place to stay. Renovated only recently and rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and polite. Pool is a bit small but perfect to relax at the end of day. Or whenever you start your day later.Breakfast is in collaboration with a place 1min away and is taken good care off. Choices and taste are overall just good.They did tell Kura B is planning to build their own kitchen in the near future. But the 1min (literally) walk shouldn't trouble you.

    We are locals and wanted a relaxing escape from our usual routine. This place was extremely relaxing, with a beautiful pool surrounded by large trees to provide a great mix of shade and sun. The hotel is very well located with many great restaurants within a few minutes walk. The rooms are very well designed for an authentic Curacao experience. We would highly recommend a stay to both couples as to individuals visiting Curacao.

    I think this is best hotel in Curaçao!It is sweet and charming, the rooms are very clean and well kept. It is comprised of several buildings within the property. Vivid colours both inside and outside of the rooms. Lots of lush foliage and very serene, literally perfect for retreating from busyness and embracing relaxation.It’s tucked in Kura Hulanda village so there’s plenty to do and eat without walking more than 10 minutes but I recommend exploring nearby neighbourhoods like Otrabanda (where the hotel is), Punda and Pietermaai which are all walking distanceWhat’s most memorable is the keen hospitality of the KB team. I felt welcomed throughout the duration of my stay, not just upon arrival. They happily answered every question I had and was consistently kind and helpful.Janette, Teresa, Disney, Darrel, Rosalita, and the young lady w the cute headscarf that complimented my crocs - you guys are amazing!My only regret is leaving such a good review bc now I risk KB not being available when I return!

    What a great holiday we had here!Very new boutique hotel where nothing is too much to ask.A super service with people who do everything they can to make your holiday the best!Rooms are very nice, modern and spacious!Location is perfect to stay away from the hustle and bustle, but still be close to the center.The district is in full bloom and is very pleasant to be in. A drink, a snack in a quiet setting where most tourists have not yet found their way. A gem!Breakfast at Maira's kitchen was great!Thank you to all staff! You make the experience and trip even more beautiful.GreetingsKaren and Yannick

    We had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica! It just opened, everything is new, thought about and the service is nothing short of amazing!It is beautifully situated in the middle of Willemstad, close to the Pontjesbrug, in a neighborhood that exudes and exudes innovation. The people are fantastic, the breakfast at Maira delicious. We would like to come back soon!Amelia and Martin

    This fully renewed boutique hotel is truly a beauty. Completely renovated, it lies in historic Willemstad on one minute walking distance of the Anna Bay and very close to some of the nicest beaches in Curacao

    Nena Sanchez Kunstgalerie – Landhaus Jan Kok

    Wenn Sie im Flamingo House sind, sollten Sie nicht zögern, das schöne Jan Kok Manor und die Nena Sanchez Art Gallery zu besuchen.

    Jan Kok (1680-1748), bekannt als der „Vater der Niederländischen Antillen“, baute sein Landhaus 1730 in der Nähe des Dorfes Willemstad. Er war ein wohlhabender Pflanzer und Sklavenhalter. Sein Haus wurde im 18. Jahrhundert zum Zentrum des gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Im 19. Jahrhundert diente es als Schulgebäude und später als Kirche.

    Heute dient das Herrenhaus als Museum, Kunstgalerie und Atelier für die farbenfrohen Gemälde von Nena Sanchez. Ihre Arbeiten sind überall auf der Insel zu sehen. Sie malt heitere Landschaften, aber auch Stillleben.

    Wussten Sie, dass Nena einst zur Miss Curaçao gekrönt wurde?
