Description
Experience the nature of Curaçao with this guided tour! The beautiful historic Hofi Mango was founded in 1707 as a plantation. In addition to mangoes, other crops were also grown, such as sugar cane. The traditional rum of Curaçao was distilled from this sugar cane, with the name “Geldduivel”. The sugar cane was pressed in a specially built sugar mill, a windmill after the Dutch model. This historic sugar mill is the only one in the Caribbean and is the eye-catcher of Hofi Mango. The centuries-old mango trees form the green heart of the park. Nowhere on Curaçao will you find a historic forest with such old trees. In the rainy season, beautiful streams flow through the mango forest. Via a beautifully landscaped walking route you wander through the shady Mango forest, through our palm garden and several flower gardens. Via the stairway to heaven, you climb our Kenjiro mountain. Here is the work of art “The hand of God” and you have a beautiful view of the Christoffel Berg.
