    Your first stop is the Beth Haim Jewish cemetery, consecrated in 1659, it is the oldest Caucasian cemetery on the island and in the Western Hemisphere. The site is also a Curacao National Monument. 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

    owned by a Jewish family, where Curacao liquor is produced. Tour the house and learn more about the family name and history. Before leaving take the opportunity to enjoy samples of this famous local product

  • Scharloo, Willemstad, Caribbean
    drive through the old Jewish neighborhood of Scharloo, were you will be able to see all the old colorful buildings and slave houses.
  • Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue, Willemstad, Caribbean
    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.

I highly recommend this tour. Bigala, our tour guide was absolutely wonderful. She was so knowledgeable about the Jewish history as well as general history of Curaçao. She and Aida (our van driver) always made sure we were comfortable and kept us engaged. Throughout the different sites, we took our time exploring and did not feel rushed or pressured. This tour was a really great overview to the important and prominent history of the Jews in Curaçao.

This tour and tour guide were excellent. The sites of the museum, Jewish cemetery and temple were excellent our tour guide And Driver exceeded expectations and handled a situation where we were not allowed admission into the temple because they were services being held, in a fantastic way. They actually added time to our tour so that we saw all the sites that were promised. All in all, it was great decision to go on this tour.
