Itinerary
N/A

Then you will visit another historic site also created as a peaceful sanctuary, the Rooi Catootje plantation house. It dates to about 1820 and was originally known as “Rust en Vrede,” which translates as “Rest and Peace.” The house has been the property of the Maduro family since 1853. The house has now been preserved as a museum

Scharloo (Pass By)

Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue
Guided tour inside the synagogue for an up-close look at religious life in Curacao. The Jewish faith has been practiced here without interruption since 1732 and one congregation itself is even older, having been established in 1651. The very fear of persecution is what drove many of Curacao’s earliest Jewish residents to relocate to the island in the first place. They were rightfully more than a little guarded about their beliefs, even upon founding their congregation and building their synagogues nearly a century later.

A highlight of our trip!

Such a wonderful tour! Naomi was extremely knowledgeable on the Jewish history of Curacao. She took us to places we didn't expect to see. Spending several hours with Naomi and being able to ask her questions not just about jewish history was so informative. A highlight of our trip!!

We saw parts of Curacão that were not on our plan. It was a great tour and our guide was really knowledgeable.
We visited the Sephardi Synagogue that is truly breathtaking, cemetery and Curacão Liqueur manufacturer.
