Quizfrage

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

Antwort

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 Briónplein is located in Otrobanda or Otrabanda

  • Quiz Question

    Which beach in Curacao is known as the largest swimming pool on the island?

    Answer

    The Kenepa Grandi or Great (nl. Grote) Knip beach:

    A picturesque, semi-circular bay with a shallow entrance into the crystal-clear, turquoise water. There are hardly any waves and there are even rocks as diving platforms at the edge of the bay. The beach itself is a huge sandpit with the finest white coral sand.

  • Quiz Question

    Where is the Museo Tula located?

    Answer

    On the way to the beaches of Grote Knip and Kleine Knip you will pass Landhuis Knip. The country house is now the Museo Tula. It is located on the hillside above the two Kenepa (Papiamentu Kenepa = Knip) beaches, very close to the road to/from Westpunt. A visit to the museum, which is also a visit to an old country house, can easily be combined with a day at the beaches in the west of Curacao.

    There you will find evidence of the slave era. A slave named Tula was the leader of the largest slave uprising on the island. In 1795 he started the rebellion of the slaves of Curacao from the manor house of the former Kenepa plantation.
