Step into the shade of Curaçao’s oldest tree. This is an impressive kapok tree estimated to be around 800 years old. Planted by the Caiquetios, a peaceful Arawak tribe, this sacred tree symbolizes a living bridge between the island’s ancestral past and present.

Activity: Stand at the base of the tree. Place your hand on its bark. Breathe slowly. Feel its age, its patience. Imagine your roots reaching deep into the soil, drawing in wisdom and strength
