Embrace the Rainy Season

October marks the beginning of Curaçao's rainy season, which lasts until December. While it may not be the most popular time for tourists, it offers a few benefits, especially for savvy travelers. Rain showers are typically short and sharp, leaving plenty of time for sun-soaked adventures in between. The upside? You’ll likely find fantastic hotel deals and fewer crowds, making it easier to experience the island at your own pace.

What to Expect from the Weather

October, along with November and December, is one of the wettest months on the island. However, Curaçao’s rainstorms are typically brief, leaving behind clear skies and cooler temperatures that make exploring the island more comfortable. Don’t let a few raindrops stop you from enjoying outdoor activities like hiking the Christoffel National Park, snorkeling in Playa Lagun, or simply strolling through the charming streets of Willemstad.

LOCAL CUISINE:

Curaçao’s vibrant culinary scene is a melting pot of Caribbean, Dutch, and Latin influences. Food lovers will be in heaven exploring the island’s traditional dishes like keshi yena, a savory stuffed cheese dish, or yuana, a hearty iguana stew often found in local eateries. The island’s seafood is fresh and delicious, with local favorites like piska kora, a red snapper prepared with tangy creole sauce, gracing many menus. Be sure to visit the floating market in Willemstad, where Venezuelan fishermen sell their catch directly from their boats, offering the freshest ingredients to locals and tourists alike.

Curaçao's culinary scene offers a delightful array of local specialties, and Pumpkin Pancakes, or "Arepa di Pampuna," are a beloved treat on the island. Made with locally grown pumpkins, these pancakes are a perfect blend of sweetness and spice, offering a warm and fluffy texture ideal for breakfast or as a midday snack. The batter, infused with cinnamon and nutmeg, gives the pancakes their rich, golden hue and aromatic flavor. Often served with a drizzle of syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit, Pumpkin Pancakes are enjoyed at family gatherings, festivals, and street markets across the island. This dish not only reflects Curaçao's agricultural heritage but also its culinary creativity, transforming simple ingredients into a memorable and authentic taste of island life.
