flamingo spotting on Curacao

Preciosos flamencos rosas en la isla de Curaçao

Seguro que ha oído hablar de lo bonitos que son los flamencos. Son monos, ¿verdad? Pues en la vida real son aún más monos. La isla de Curaçao alberga algunos de los flamencos más asombrosos del mundo. Y ahora tú también puedes verlos.

Aquí hay muchos lugares diferentes para observar aves. Uno de esos lugares se llama Flamingo Park. Aquí encontrará muchos flamencos en las aguas poco profundas.
Si quiere ver más, hay otro gran lugar cerca. Se llama San Willibrordus. Aquí podrá ver flamencos y garcetas. Podrá ver fácilmente a los flamencos cuando se reúnan alrededor de las carreteras. Si tiene suerte, podrá verlos de cerca. Son tímidos, así que no te acerques a ellos.

Uno de los lugares que la gente suele olvidar mencionar son ‘
Las Salinas de Jan Thiel
‘. Por cierto, es un lugar estupendo para pasear o correr por la mañana o a última hora de la tarde. Aquí encontrará un grupo de flamencos en libertad. Mientras busca estos animales, podrá disfrutar de un entorno hermoso, relajante y único (y quemar muchas calorías para esa deliciosa comida y cerveza que consumirá después).

    San Willibrordus y sus flamencos

    La ciudad de Sint Willibrordus está situada frente a la costa oeste de Curaçao. Es una ciudad pequeña, pero con grandes ambiciones. Al acercarse, es imposible no ver el cartel de «Williwood» en una colina a lo lejos (una versión de Curaçao del famoso cartel de Hollywood). Es una de las atracciones turísticas más populares de la isla, ya que es una réplica del cartel de Hollywood, situado al otro lado de la carretera. Por la noche, parece una enorme bombilla. Pronto pasará por las antiguas saliñias de Rif-Sient Marie, una antigua plantación de salinas. El antiguo emplazamiento es ahora un hábitat protegido para las especies locales de flamencos.

    Williwood

    Los flamencos rosas más bellos del mundo se encuentran en el pueblo de Williwood, en la isla de Curaçao.

    Aquí se encuentra la famosa reserva de flamencos. Aquí hay unos 400 flamencos. Proceden de Sudamérica y viven en los alrededores de la señal de Williwood.

    En 2011, una petición de los lugareños cambió el nombre de la región de San Willibrordus a Willibrordus. Ahora se llama oficialmente Williwood.

    Willibrordus es el patrón de los Países Bajos y su festividad se celebra el 14 de abril de cada año. Es uno de los cuatro apóstoles de Jesucristo. En el pueblo se alza St. Iglesia de Willibrordus, que data de 1880.

    Todo lo que necesita saber sobre estos preciosos flamencos rosas

    Hay seis especies de flamencos

    Existen seis especies diferentes de flamencos: el americano (que se encuentra en la isla de Curaçao), el grande, el pequeño, el James, el chileno y el andino. Todos los flamencos pertenecen a una familia llamada Phoenicopteridae. Esta familia incluye patos, gansos, cisnes, cigüeñas, garzas, ibis, espátulas, somormujos, cormoranes, gaviotas, charranes, martines pescadores, oropéndolas, pájaros carpinteros, tucanes, loros, colibríes, águilas, búhos, halcones, halcones, buitres, milanos, ratoneros, pelícanos, grullas, avestruces, emús, nandos y pingüinos.

    Los flamencos son rosas por lo que comen

    Los flamencos son una de las aves más bellas de la naturaleza, pero su color no es sólo un bonito espectáculo. Sus vibrantes tonalidades se deben al consumo de un tipo especial de alga llamada Dunaliella salina. Esta alga contiene tipos específicos de pigmentos carotenoides, que dan a los flamencos su característico tono rosado.
    La misma pigmentación carotenoide se da en muchos otros animales, incluido el ser humano. Lo llamamos «carotenoide» y lo utilizamos en todo, desde el colorante alimentario hasta los cosméticos.

    Los nidos de los flamencos están hechos de barro

    El nido del flamenco está construido con barro, palos, hierbas y ramitas. Los huevos tienen un tamaño medio de unos 50 milímetros (2 pulgadas) y pesan entre 2,7 y 3,3 gramos cada uno. Las puestas tienen lugar en mayo y junio, y la hembra pone hasta cuatro huevos al día. Construye su nido en aguas poco profundas, normalmente cerca de la costa, y lo cubre con hojas y escombros. Después de poner los huevos, vuelve al nido cada pocas horas para ver cómo están. Si no hay comida cerca, vuela a buscarla.

    Los flamencos son monógamos, pero a veces el macho se encarga de construir el nido e incubar los huevos. Él monta guardia mientras su compañera hace el resto. Cuando los polluelos salen del cascarón, ambos padres los alimentan. Cuando maduran, los flamencos viven hasta 25 años.

    El baile del flamenco

    La palabra «flamenco» deriva del español flamenco, que significa «baile salvaje», ya que los flamencos ejecutan extraños bailes mientras vadean en aguas poco profundas.

    Cada una de las seis especies de flamencos baila su propia danza durante la época de apareamiento. Sin embargo, todas comparten un conjunto de pasos similares. Consisten en un ritual de despeje, seguido de un movimiento de lanzamiento de cabeza conocido como «fragmentación». Consiste en lanzar la cabeza lateralmente de izquierda a derecha. Los lanzamientos de cabeza no sólo son ruidosos, sino que también pretenden que todo el mundo sepa exactamente lo que está pasando.

    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!

    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

    Galería de arte Nena Sanchez – Casa de campo Jan Kok

    Si se encuentra en Flamingo House, no dude en visitar la hermosa mansión Jan Kok y la galería de arte Nena Sanchez.

    Jan Kok (1680-1748), conocido como «el padre de las Antillas Neerlandesas», construyó su casa de campo en 1730 cerca del pueblo de Willemstad. Era un rico plantador y propietario de esclavos. Su casa se convirtió en el centro de la vida social del siglo XVIII. En el siglo XIX sirvió de escuela y más tarde de iglesia.

    En la actualidad, la mansión sirve de museo, galería de arte y estudio para las coloridas pinturas de Nena Sánchez. Su obra puede verse por toda la isla. Pinta paisajes alegres, pero también bodegones.

    ¿Sabías que Nena fue coronada una vez Miss Curaçao?
