There used to be many Plantation houses on the island of Curaçao. Due to neglect, some have disappeared, are overgrown by shrubs and trees or have their walls still standing, but their roofs have gone.
Nevertheless, there still are quite a few houses that have been restored. Some are family houses, some are galleries, some are museums, some are restaurants or offer bed&Breakfast.
If not going for a hike, visit to a plantation house. Here are the websites:
Plantation houses that can be visited are:
Landhuis Ascencion, every first Sunday of the month. Drinks, snacks, arts&crafts, music. From 11 am to 1 pm. Lots of hiking trails.
Landhuis Bloemhof. A gallery with a garden. Exhibitions in or around the house.
In the garden you'll find the Cathedral of Thorns, an art project by artist Herman van Bergen.
