Chobolobo Landhouse
The Senior Co distillery is located in country house Chobolobo, where the famous Curaçao liqueur is produced.

When you go here you can choose to walk around without a tour guide or with a tour guide. The best thing is with a tour guide because it tells fun facts about the liqueur. You can of course buy various products here, including the liqueur itself. You have different flavors and with the tour you can also taste. This is a really nice sight during your internship or work on Curaçao.
Hato caves
The caves of Hato are located on the north side of Curaçao, near the international airport. The nice thing is that the caves are quite big so you have a lot to see. Within these Hato Caves you can clearly see that Curaçao once lay below sea level. Many decades ago, Curaçao came to the surface. The caves have probably been inhabited by Ararwak Indians for several centuries after the beginning of our era. Petroglyphs are still visible today that are proof of this. For several years now, part of the caves can be visited with a guide. He explains everything about the stalagmites and stalactites in the caves, the way the caves were formed, the use of the caves and the past and present inhabitants. When you enter the park you also have the option of a nice walk through a garden where you see all kinds of beautiful plants and trees. A visit is definitely worth it if you are on Curaçao for an internship or work.
Christoffel Park
The Christoffelberg is located in the west of the island. This mountain is 375 meters high and is therefore the highest point of Curaçao. A climb to the top is a popular excursion for active people. Once at the top you will be rewarded with a fantastic view over the island and the sparkling sea. The trip up takes about 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on your condition and speed. Please note: the tour does not only consist of walking, but also of scrambling. Want to know more about this? Check out our blog or it climbing the Christoffelmountain!
