This Dutch Caribbean isle is both less touristed and more historic than next-door Aruba, and apart from the pastel Dutch architecture of capital Willemstad and some of its interior plantations is known for some of the Caribbean's best diving.

Love Curaçao! Here's a recipe for KESHI YENA, stuffed Edam cheese, which is practically the national dish. There's an interesting story behind it: apparently the Dutch slaveowners would eat the cheese and leave only the rind, and so the slaves invented something to stuff the empty rinds with to create a tasty dish for themselves. Whatever the story, it's yummy!
