Curacao’s cuisine is a delightful fusion of Caribbean, Dutch, Latin American, and African flavors. Here are some popular foods you should try when visiting the island:

Keshi Yena: A traditional Curacaoan dish, Keshi Yena is a hearty casserole made with cheese, usually Edam or Gouda, stuffed with spiced meat (chicken or beef), vegetables, and sometimes olives and raisins. It’s a must-try for cheese lovers.

Ayaka: Ayaka is a traditional dish especially popular during Christmas. It’s a type of tamale made from cornmeal dough, filled with a spiced meat mixture, and wrapped in banana leaves before being steamed.

Tutu: Tutu is a traditional side dish made from black-eyed peas and cornmeal, cooked together until it forms a thick, pudding-like consistency. It’s a savory accompaniment to many main dishes.

Curacao is a great year-round destination, but certain times stand out for different experiences.

December to April: From December to April, Curaçao enjoys its best weather, with warm temperatures and minimal rain. This is the busiest time with many events, including the lively Curaçao Carnival. It’s ideal for beach-goers and activity enthusiasts but comes with higher prices and larger crowds.

May to June and September to November:
May to June and September to November offer pleasant weather with fewer tourists. These shoulder seasons provide a balance of good conditions and lower prices, making it a great time for a more relaxed visit.

July to August: July and August are less crowded and more affordable but can be hotter and more humid. Although there’s a higher chance of rain, brief showers are usually manageable. This period is ideal for budget travelers looking to avoid the crowds.
