Abandoned – Curaçao For 91 Days

The Ghostly Remains of the Aruba Air Wreck

Laying along the side of the Koraalspechtweg road, near the Jan Thiel Salt Flats, is the rotting carcass of an abandoned airplane. We had driven by it a number of times, always imagining how much fun it would be to explore the wreckage. And then we realized, there was nothing preventing us from doing exactly that.

Santa Martha and the Abandoned Sunset Waters Resort

Just past the Landhuis Santa Martha, near the town of Soto, is a hilly, forested patch of Curaçao which hasn't yet been developed. More accurately, I should say that it's no longer developed. We followed the road until reaching its end at Sunset Waters, a former resort which has been abandoned for years.
