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

    Is it called Otrobanda or Otrabanda (the district of Willemstad)?

    Answer

    Both are correct!

    In the literal translation from the local language Papiamentu, Otrobanda means the “other side”. It doesn’t matter whether you say Otrobanda or Otrabanda, confirms Pablo from Iguana Ride, who offers city tours on e-scooters through the various districts.

    Otrabanda is the district of Willemstad that lies opposite Punda. The St. Annabaai strait separates the two districts. How do you get across? The Queen Emma Bridge is for pedestrians, and the Queen Juliana Bridge is for all motor vehicles.

    The picture shows the Briónplein in Otrobanda/Otrabanda with the flag of Curacao.
