Thus, the island can be easily visited all year round.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cura\u00e7ao is a small island with 444 km\u00b2 in the southern Caribbean and is located about 60km north of Venezuela. Since 10.10.2010, Cura\u00e7ao has been an autonomous region\u00a0within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. With Aruba, Bonaire and Cura\u00e7ao these 3 islands form the association of the so-called ABC islands. A tourist visa for Cura\u00e7ao is valid for accumulated 90 days in\u00a0the current year. The registration form\u00a0is handed out during the flight and has to be completed, alternatively you can register 24 hours before the trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #00bcd4;\">You must have a valid passport for entry!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since 2016, the border entry has become easier. You can register online before you arrive (at least 24 hours before your arrival). The system is called Online ED Card. If it works, the system is definitely worth it and saves long waiting times during passport control. Unfortunately, the system does not always work. Also with this system, there may be hiccups\u00a0and\/or waiting times.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; parallax=&#8221;content-moving-fade&#8221; parallax_image=&#8221;138&#8243; parallax_speed_bg=&#8221;7.5&#8243;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;200px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Best travel time for Cura\u00e7ao: All year round!&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%2300bcd4&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1479124146571{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]The annual average temperature is 27 \u00b0C (80.6 \u00b0F). The north-east trade winds provide a\u00a0pleasant refreshing breeze.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"color: #00bcd4;\">February to May<\/span> are good months to explore the island. There are very few mosquitoes and the winds are refreshing. This makes the stay for Europeans very pleasant. However, the island can be quite sparse, due to lack of rain. If you prefer to see the island in green, you should come in <span style=\"color: #00bcd4;\">December<\/span>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"color: #00bcd4;\">In October<\/span>, the risk of rains is a little higher. The official rainy season starts in <span style=\"color: #00bcd4;\">November<\/span> and lasts until <span style=\"color: #00bcd4;\">February<\/span>. It rarely happens that it rains a whole day. It is usually short, heavy rain. After a short time the sun shines again. In this month, the island is very green. Even though it is rainy season you will still have a fantastic\u00a0trip.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;696&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;left-to-right&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]In Cura\u00e7ao, you can easily move freely. Simple and common\u00a0precautions are enough. This makes it easy to explore the entire island. Car collisions sometimes occur at beaches or\u00a0at viewpoints. Please do not leave anything valuable in the car. Many locals do not shut down the cars and leave the windows open.\u00a0But of course they do not leave any items in the abandoned car.<\/p>\n<p>In Cura\u00e7ao you will not find long white sand beaches, but there are many small coves. You can have a whole beach for yourself. Some beaches are completely natural. Other beaches are well developed. There is usually the chance to grab a small snack, access toilets and sometimes also diving bases. On Small Cura\u00e7ao there is a\u00a0long white sand beach, but you can only access it by boat.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=&#8221;605&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;333&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;left-to-right&#8221;][vc_column_text]On weekends many beaches are quite busy. The locals come with their whole household (so you might think) and spend the whole day at the beach with barbecue, party, swimming, etc. On some beaches it can happen that they build up\u00a0tents and spend the whole weekend at the beach. This is very\u00a0common in Cura\u00e7ao.<br \/>\nThe beautiful beaches are almost all in the western part of the island. There are some free beaches, where no entry fee is charged, there is only\u00a0for the beach chairs a small fee. There are also natural beaches, which are mostly accessible via gravel roads. For some of these beaches, you will have to pay a travel allowance, as you have to travel on private terrain, but the beaches are open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Other beaches are now well developed, with everything you would like on a beach, such as, toilets, showers, restaurants and a diving base. These beaches are maintained and kept clean. On such beaches exists an entrance fee, which is however relatively low, for the service one gets offered.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]In Cura\u00e7ao you will not find any mass tourism. The island is still something for individualists. On some days, cruise ships visit the island, mainly during the winter months. On such days, of course, many tourists are traveling around the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00bcd4;\">Our highlights are:<\/span><\/strong> Little Knip (Playa Kenepa Chiki), Cas Abou, Porto Marie, Klein Cura\u00e7ao, Playa Lagun, Boka St. Michiel and of course Jan Thiel.<\/p>\n<p>All beaches<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.curacao.com\/en\/directory\/tun\/strande\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.curacao.com\/en\/directory\/tun\/strande<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; images=&#8221;114,694,692,1179,737,1002,1103,735,1145,1143,1141,1139,1095,739,1129,733,1163,1175,1165,1155,1137,1133,1006,1147,1127,1121,1117,1060,1010,1048,1038,1014,1030,1024,1012,1018,1032,1004,753,1020&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Cura\u00e7ao&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:center|color:%2300bcd4&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1479119825647{margin-bottom: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text] Cura\u00e7ao is a pearl of the Caribbean and lies outside the hurricane zone&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-113","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villavistacuracao.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villavistacuracao.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villavistacuracao.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villavistacuracao.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villavistacuracao.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113"}],"version-history":[{"count":42,"href":"https:\/\/www.villavistacuracao.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/113\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":607,"href":"https:\/\/www.villavistacuracao.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/113\/revisions\/607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villavistacuracao.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
