Tour
These caves had a utilitarian purpose during the early days of the slave trade
in Curacao, escaped slaves used them as hiding places, and lived in them for
months at a time. Even before the arrival of Europeans and slaves, the South
American Arawak Indians used them for shelter, and left behind cave drawings, or
petroglyphs, estimated at 1,500 years old.
Guides will take
you through the caves. They'll point out the apocryphal and fanciful stories
behind some of the stalactites and stalagmites; in the eerie lighting, some take
on shapes and are called the Pirate's Head, the Sea Tortoise, and the Giant of
Jack and the Beanstalk fame.
