Caribbean Travel Beyond the Beaches: Food & Markets of Curacao

Island of Curacao - Images by Jordan WhitleyWhen someone says, “Caribbean island,” chances are the first images that come to mind are sun, surf and sand. But each island comes with its own history and cultural influences that create a unique identity.

While on the island of Curacao, Jordan Whitley set out to explore this tropical destination beyond its beaches. What she discovered was a melting pot of ethnic influences from Africa, South America, the Caribbean and Europe, all of which come together in Curacao’s outdoor markets.

Whitley also snapped even more images of Curacao, which you can find in the slideshow below.
