Den Paradera is a beloved botanical garden created by Dinah Veeris, dedicated to Curaçao's traditional medicinal and culinary plants and the healing knowledge passed down on the island.
Guided tours walk you through aloe, calabash, herbs and trees, explaining their uses in folk medicine and cooking, with a small shop of natural products. It is a peaceful, educational stop that reveals a gentler, deeply local side of Curaçao, about 25 minutes from town near Banda Abou.
