Sint Willibrodrus – Curaçao For 91 Days

Landhuis Jan Kok and the Nena Sanchez Gallery

When the plantation house of Jan Kok was in operation, it was a place of cruelty, where hundreds of enslaved men and women were put to hard labor. But time mellows everything, and that apparently goes for Curaçao's landhuizen, as well. Today, the Jan Kok is home to the colorful work of native Curaçaoan artist Nena Sanchez.

Sint Willibrodrus and its Flamingos

Sint Willibrodrus sits along the edge of the Jan Kok Bay, on the western coast of Curaçao. It's a small town, but one with big ambitions. As you approach, it's impossible to miss the "Williwood" sign on a hill in the distance. Actually, you might miss it, if your attention has been captured by all of the flamingos.
