  • Quiz Question

    What is Divi Divi?

    Answer

    The Divi Divi is an undemanding tree with feathery leaves that can grow on beaches in the middle of the sand.

    Typical for all Divi Divis and therefore a distinguishing feature is that all trees face south-west. This is due to the constant trade winds blowing from the north-east.

    The Divi Divi tree is the logo on the tail fins of the island-hopper airline Divi Divi Air. It connects Curacao with the neighboring islands of Aruba and Bonaire.
