Find Cheap Flights to Curaçao and Book Your Tickets Now

Peruvian citizens traveling to Curaçao for tourism do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is mandatory to have a passport valid for at least six months after the intended departure date, a round-trip or onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds for your stay. Although a visa is not required, immigration authorities may request these documents upon arrival. Make sure you have all your documentation ready to avoid delays when entering the island, and always check the updated requirements before your trip.

The most comfortable and flexible way to explore Curaçao is by renting a car. The roads are well maintained and driving is easy, although traffic in Willemstad can be heavy. Public buses (called Konvoi) are economical and cover the main routes, but they do not reach all the more remote beaches and attractions. There are also minibuses (called Bus) that operate fixed routes and are a faster option. Taxis are available, but they are more expensive for long distances. If you plan to visit the western beaches (Banda Abou), a rental car is almost essential. Remember that driving is on the right, as in Peru, which makes adaptation easier.

Curaçao offers a wide range of accommodation, from luxury all-inclusive resorts to boutique hotels in Punda and Otrobanda, and vacation rentals. If you are looking to be close to the action, stay in Willemstad for access to restaurants and shops. For a quieter beach experience, consider the Jan Thiel or Westpunt area. Prices vary widely; hotels and resorts are often more expensive than in Peru, so booking in advance, especially for cheap Curaçao flights and accommodation, is crucial. Apartment or house rentals can be an excellent option for families or groups, offering more space and the possibility of saving money by cooking.

Curaçao is generally a safe destination, but it is always wise to take basic precautions, as in any tourist destination. Avoid leaving valuables in sight in rental cars and do not walk alone in poorly lit areas of Willemstad at night. Curaçaoans are known for their friendliness and hospitality; Papiamento, Dutch, and English are the main languages. A simple 'Bon dia' (good morning) in Papiamento will be appreciated. The currency is the Antillean Guilder (ANG), but the US dollar is widely accepted. As in Peru, tipping is common in restaurants and for services, generally 10-15%.

Curaçao's cuisine is a delicious blend of Caribbean, Dutch, and South American influences. Be sure to try 'Keshi Yena' (baked stuffed cheese with spiced meat), 'Stobá' (meat stew), and fresh fish. The floating market in Willemstad offers fresh fruits and vegetables. For an authentic experience, visit the 'Marshe Bieu' (Old Market) to try local food at very reasonable prices. Unlike Peruvian food, which often focuses on spice, Curaçaoan cuisine tends to be sweeter and more spiced. Also try Curaçao liqueur, made from the peels of the island's bitter oranges. Eating at local restaurants outside the tourist areas can be an excellent way to save money.

The climate in Curaçao is tropical semi-arid, meaning it is warm and sunny all year round, with little rain. Pack light summer clothing, swimwear, and high sun protection. Although the island is outside the hurricane belt, there may be short rains between October and January. It is important to wear comfortable walking shoes, especially if you plan to explore Willemstad or hike in Christoffel National Park. A power adapter (plugs are Type A and B, different from those in Peru) is necessary. Don't forget to bring a waterproof camera to capture the beauty of the beaches and the vibrant underwater landscape. The constant breeze makes the heat bearable, but the sun is intense.

A week-long trip allows you to explore the main attractions. Dedicate two days to Willemstad to see the Queen Emma Bridge and the colorful houses. Reserve at least three days for the Banda Abou beaches (such as Kenepa Grandi and Cas Abao), and one day for Christoffel National Park. To get the best Curaçao flight prices, consider traveling in the low season. A local tip: for a perfect photo, visit Grote Knip beach early in the morning, when the water is calmer and the sun is not as strong. TICKETS.PE always recommends looking for cheap Lima Curaçao flights and booking activities in advance, especially if traveling in high season, to secure your spot and better rates.
