Flamingo Sanctuary Sint Willibrordus

Start your day with a peaceful stop at the Willywood salt flats near the village of Sint Willibrordus, one of the few places on Curaçao where you can see wild Caribbean flamingos in their natural habitat. These shallow, pink-tinged salt ponds attract flocks of flamingos throughout the year, offering travelers a quiet and scenic place to admire these elegant birds up close (from a respectful distance). Watch as the flamingos wade gracefully through the water, feeding and preening in the serene wetlands. It’s a great photo opportunity and a refreshing change of pace—perfect for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and anyone looking for a tranquil moment on the island. There are no fences or enclosures — this is a natural wildlife encounter, and part of what makes it so special. You'll stop at a small viewpoint along the road, with easy access for quick photos and a few minutes of quiet observation.
