Arrecifes de coral de Curaçao

Los arrecifes de coral de Curaçao, hogar de innumerables animales marinos, son la característica natural más llamativa de la isla bajo el agua. Los organismos blandos hacen de los corales vivos lo que son. Las células del fondo del arrecife de coral de Curaçao segregan cada vez una gota vital de piedra caliza, que permite el crecimiento del arrecife. El sedimento calcáreo es lo único que queda cuando mueren estos corales. Otros corales crecen entonces sobre ella, produciendo más piedra caliza y acabando por descomponerse.

    Buceo y snorkel

    Hay muchas formas sencillas de disfrutar de lo mejor que ofrece la isla. Gran parte del arrecife de coral de Curaçao, por ejemplo, está a sólo unos minutos a nado de la playa. Quienes deseen contemplar el hermoso mundo submarino del Caribe pueden hacerlo practicando snorkel o submarinismo con botella de oxígeno.

    El arrecife tardó millones de años en formarse lentamente. Por ello, es muy importante saber que cuando se toca el coral (por ejemplo, con las aletas de natación), éste muere. Por otra parte, se tarda mucho tiempo en recuperarse. Por lo tanto, al bucear y practicar snorkel, asegúrese de mantenerse por encima del arrecife de coral de Curaçao y no tocar nada.

    Arrecifes de coral en Curaçao

    Hay varios lugares donde admirar el arrecife de coral de Curaçao. Enumeramos nuestros cuatro favoritos.

    Pequeña Curaçao

    Una de las excursiones más populares en Curaçao es un viaje en barco a Klein Curaçao, una pequeña isla de coral a unos 16 km de la isla principal. La playa de arena blanca de 800 metros de largo, a sotavento de la isla, es uno de los lugares favoritos para avistar tortugas marinas y bucear. Los arrecifes de coral adyacentes de Curaçao albergan unas 350 especies de peces tropicales y 65 especies de coral. En la playa de Klein Curaçao se pueden ver peces mariposa, peces luna, peces espina, pequeños meros, peces globo y muchos otros peces de arrecife.

    Remolcador en la bahía de Caracas

    Un pequeño remolcador naufragó frente a la costa rocosa de la bahía de Caracas hace 30 años. El pecio, ahora cubierto de coral, se encuentra a sólo cinco metros bajo la superficie y es uno de los lugares favoritos para practicar snorkel y submarinismo. No hay corrientes ni olas que perturben su tranquila experiencia de buceo o snorkel por encima de los peces trompeta, morenas, peces ángel y corales tubo que se encuentran debajo. El arrecife de coral de Curaçao, a la vuelta de la esquina de Tugboat, que se hunde hasta los 30 metros de profundidad, puede ser explorado por los submarinistas que naden un poco más lejos. Los barcos de buceo salen de varios puntos, o se puede nadar desde la orilla hasta las ruinas del Remolcador.

    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!

    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.

    I had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica in Curacao. This boutique hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The rooms were not only nice but also impeccably clean, which is always a priority for me when traveling. The location is fantastic, being so close to Brionplein and Punda, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings.The ambiance at Kura Botanica is truly special. It radiates charm and offers a tranquil atmosphere that made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff was welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.I would highly recommend Kura Botanica to anyone looking for a cozy and well-maintained boutique hotel in Curacao. It's a gem that ensures a delightful stay in this beautiful destination.

    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!

    Fundación para la Restauración del Coral de Curaçao

    Por desgracia, no todas las partes del arrecife de coral de Curaçao van bien. Restaurar las comunidades de corales y peces exige superar obstáculos. Aquí, la educación sobre la mencionada manipulación de los corales es clave.

    La organización sin ánimo de lucro Reef Renewal Curaçao (antes conocida como Fundación para la Restauración del Coral de Curaçao) se ha comprometido a ampliar la parte del arrecife de coral de Curaçao amenazada de extinción y a concienciar sobre la importancia de la vida marina.

    Concienciación sobre la importancia de los corales.

    La restauración del sistema de arrecifes de aguas poco profundas, la educación pública y la conservación de los ecosistemas naturales de Curaçao son los principales objetivos de este programa.

    Por ello, el objetivo de Reef Renewal Curaçao es convertir la conservación de los arrecifes de coral y la gestión de los océanos en un elemento central de la cultura de Curaçao. Como resultado, los arrecifes de aguas poco profundas ya no están amenazados.

    El arrecife de coral de Curaçao es importante por varias cosas. Desde la defensa costera y la alimentación hasta los codiciados dólares del turismo. El arrecife de coral de Curaçao es vital para la economía y las infraestructuras de la isla. Sin embargo, las actividades humanas suponen una grave amenaza para estos arrecifes, y la restauración de los arrecifes es sólo una parte de la respuesta.

    Reef Renewal Curaçao necesita la ayuda de muchas partes privadas diferentes, además del apoyo del Gobierno, para trabajar juntos y restaurar con éxito el arrecife de coral.

    ¿Cómo funciona realmente la restauración del coral?

    Reef Renewal Curaçao inicia la restauración del arrecife cultivando partes de corales cuerno de alce y cuerno de ciervo en árboles de coral. Una ventaja de este método de restauración coralina es la velocidad a la que pueden crecer los corales, que es significativamente mayor que en su hábitat natural. Los corales permanecen a flote en la columna de agua, donde reciben un suministro constante de nutrientes y también se acercan más al sol. Estas dos condiciones son ideales para el desarrollo del arrecife de coral de Curaçao.

    Imagen de OceanEncounters.com

    coral restoration curacao

    Curaçao tiene varias granjas de coral

    Un vivero de corales es una agrupación de cuatro o más de estos árboles coralinos. Ocho viveros con un total de cincuenta y cinco árboles están repartidos por toda la isla de Curaçao. También puede adoptar un árbol de coral para su restauración y la conservación del arrecife de Curaçao. Éste llevará una etiqueta con tu nombre.

    En Baoase Luxury Resort, Avila Beach Hotel, Kontiki Beach Resort, Lions Dive Beach Resort en Mambo Beach, Marie Pampoen y Eel Valley, Reef Renewal Curaçao mantiene viveros activos de Staghorn.

    Los corales pueden liberarse al cabo de seis a nueve meses, cuando hayan alcanzado el tamaño ideal. Durante el trasplante, los corales se vuelven a fijar al arrecife para que puedan madurar y reproducirse.
