Avistamiento de fauna en Curaçao

Curaçao, país de las Antillas Neerlandesas, está situado al sur del mar Caribe y en el Caribe neerlandés. Se encuentra a unos 65 kilómetros al norte de la costa de Venezuela. En la isla le esperan animales exóticos.

El clima semiárido de Curaçao ha impedido que vivan allí muchas especies de aves tropicales, mamíferos y lagartos asociados a las selvas tropicales. En Curaçao habitan innumerables especies de colibríes y polluelos de plátano, así como charranes mayores y garcetas, e incluso flamencos. En Curaçao habita el Trupial, un ave negra con el vientre naranja brillante, manchas blancas y alas blancas. El sinsonte se llama Chuchubi (papiamento) y tiene una larga cola gris blanquecina con el dorso gris. El pelícano pardo de gran pico, que se alimenta de peces costeros, también puede encontrarse en la isla. Hay muchas otras aves marinas, como grandes cormoranes y gaviotas.

El ciervo de cola blanca es el animal más destacado de Curaçao, aparte de los ratones de campo, los conejos pequeños y los murciélagos de las cavernas. Este ciervo está estrechamente emparentado con el ciervo de cola blanca americano o ciervo de Virginia. Se encuentra en toda Norteamérica, Centroamérica, el Caribe e incluso Bolivia. El ciervo puede llegar a medir medio metro de largo y medio metro de alto, y pesar hasta 90 kilos. Es la única especie de ciervo que se encuentra en la isla. Está protegida desde 1926 y en Curaçao viven unos 200 ejemplares. Se pueden encontrar en muchos lugares de la isla, especialmente en el parque Christoffel, en el lado oeste, donde vive el 70% de su manada. Según los arqueólogos, el ciervo fue traído a Curaçao desde Sudamérica por los arawaks, los habitantes originales.

Destacaremos nuestra fauna favorita que se puede avistar en la isla.

    Iguanas

    La isla alberga varias especies de iguanas, entre ellas un ejemplar de color claro con brillantes aguamarinas en los flancos y el vientre. Se tumban al sol por toda la isla. Las iguanas de Curaçao son una atracción maravillosa. Pero, a diferencia de otras islas, aún se cazan para alimentarse. Las tortugas marinas anidan en varias calas de la costa oeste de la isla. Los guardas del parque pueden guiarle para visitar estas tortugas, protegidas en el Parque de Shete Boka.

    A las iguanas les encanta el clima seco-húmedo. Les encanta el violín de Curaçao. Se pueden encontrar en casi todas partes. Pueden encontrarse al borde de la carretera o en los arcenes. Lamentablemente, muchos fueron atropellados. La población de iguanas es tan numerosa que los lugareños acuden a la zona para cazarlas y preparar con ellas una deliciosa sopa de iguana. ¿Quién no quiere ver una variedad de iguanas? Esta iguana se detiene una vez en el Hotel Bahía y luego se sienta en la terraza del restaurante. Las iguanas se encuentran tanto debajo de las mesas como en los árboles. Pero no es demasiado tarde. La iguana, que es el segundo animal más perezoso en términos de pereza después del perezoso. También se les da de comer en el restaurante, para que estén lo más representados posible.

    Flamencos

    En Curaçao también hay flamencos. Son altos y delgados, con cuello largo, patas largas y plumaje rosado. Los flamencos erguidos pueden alcanzar entre 90 cm y 155 cm de altura. El cuello y las patas de los machos son más grandes que los de las hembras, y la absorción de carotenoides es lo que da al plumaje su color rosado. Estos carotenoides se utilizan principalmente en las algas planctónicas. Estos carotenoides pueden ser transformados por el organismo flamenco mediante enzimas situadas en el hígado. Esto hace que muchos pigmentos, incluida la cantaxantina, sean absorbidos por la piel y las plumas de los flamencos adultos. Las aves jóvenes desarrollan un plumaje gris, con muy poca o ninguna pigmentación rosa.

    Aunque los flamencos pueden nadar, no son muy buenos nadadores. Incluso pueden nadar en aguas más profundas gracias a sus largas patas. Mantienen el cuello extendido y las alas se baten con rapidez y frecuencia.

    ¿Sabía que su velocidad de vuelo puede alcanzar los 50-60 km/h? Los flamencos suelen hacer formaciones en V en grupo para ahorrar energía. Se pueden dar algunos pasos antes y después del aterrizaje.

    Colibríes

    Nos encantan estas increíbles criaturas. El colibrí lo hace a una frecuencia alta, de 40 a 50 aleteos por minuto. También pueden volar con sus alas móviles para conseguir néctar. Puedes volar de lado o hacia atrás. Los colibríes tienen una mano más grande que la parte superior e inferior de sus brazos, lo que contrasta con otras especies de aves. El colibrí puede volar en casi cualquier posición imaginable gracias a esto y a una extrema destreza en el codo y el hombro. Esto le cuesta al colibrí menos del 25% de su peso total. ¿Sabías que les gustan las flores amarillas y rojizas?

    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!

    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
