Hato Caves Curacao are the most impressive caves of
Curacao. The caves were formed millions of years ago beneath the surface. When the water fell during the ice age it created the island Curacao.
Hato Caves Curacao have an area of 4900 m2. They contain beautiful limestone formations, a waterfall, romantic pools and the famous Maria statue. In the
Hato Caves also lives a rare colony of long-nose bats. Would you like to visit the Hato Caves on Curacao during your

Before the Europeans arrived on
Curacao the Ararwak Indians lived in the caves. The 1500 years old cave paintings and petroglyphs proof that. The
Hato Caves were in the time of the ancient slave trade on
Curacao even useful. Runaway slaves hid in the caves and stayed there sometimes for months.
