Who or what is Jan Kok?

Antwort

Jan Kok is the name given to the area on the other side of the St. Marie Bay salt pans. It is located just before the small village of St. Willibrordus.

The salt pans are home to colonies of flamingos, sometimes very close to the shore, which you can observe up close. Directly opposite is the Jan Kok manor on a small hill, from where you have a wonderful view of the salt pans. The land house was built in 1840 and bears the name of the 18th century slave owner Jan Kok.

  • Quiz Question

    What does Alice in Wonderland have to do with Curacao?

    Answer

    A diving spot in the west of the island is called Alice in Wonderland.
    The further you descend here, the smaller you feel among the ever-growing coral formations. This is why the underwater world there bears this name.

    There’s more to discover underwater in the diving area around Westpunt, including a statue of Neptune, a Chichi, and a saxophone. The reefs, fish, and corals are so diverse that it’s like entering another world.

    Alice in Wonderland is a magical diving adventure!

  • Quiz Question

    What are the names of Curacao's neighboring islands?

    Small tip: ABC

    Answer

    The main neighboring islands are Aruba and Bonaire.

    Curacao forms the C of the ABC islands.

    Geographically, the islands belong to the Leeward Islands. Geologically, they belong to South America, as they lie on the South American continental shelf. Curacao and Venezuela are only 60 kilometers apart.

    Strictly speaking, there is also Klein Curacao and Klein Bonaire. These two secondary islands of the main island of the same name are uninhabited.
