Aloe Vera & Mambo Beach

OVERVIEW

Create your own natural sunscreen using aloe vera leaves and try out your newly made product while relaxing on Mambo Beach. On the way out of Willemstad, you will pass some of the capital’s most iconic attractions, including the brightly painted colonial buildings in the affluent Otrabanda district and Queen Emma Bridge, which spans St. Anna Bay. Upon reaching a farm in Curaçao’s interior, you will join a workshop and learn hands-on how to make a sunscreen spray from the aloe vera leaves that you will harvest in the fields. Rich in antioxidants and anti-bacterial properties, aloe vera can naturally hydrate and revitalize your skin, especially after sun exposure. You will have the chance to test your handmade sunscreen during free time at Mambo Beach. Besides being a beautiful stretch of sand, the beach is lined with restaurants and shops, so there is more to do than bask in the sun.
