The Curaçao Museum holds both contemporary art and an exhibition of island life in the mid-nineteenth century, and it makes for an unexpected opening to this island circuit. The route continues past the salt flats to Hato Caves, where grottos filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal-clear pools offer a dramatic change of scene. Landhuis Chobolobo follows as the final major stop, where the Blue Curaçao liqueur is distilled as it has been for over a century. A look at the production process leads into a tasting before a scenic drive through downtown Willemstad brings the day toward the pier, with the option to stay for independent exploring.
