Columbus was the first to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 1492 with 3 sailing ships, in search of a faster sea route to the Indies. He discovered land after 3 weeks of sailing, which he named the West Indies, believing (supposing) that he had arrived in India.

The original inhabitants of America were therefore called INDIANS. Alonso de Ojeda discovered Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao in 1499 during an expedition to South America. The navigator of this expedition was Amerigo Malteo Vespucci, America is named after him.

Vespucci has left behind a travel story, which allows us to find out (rediscover) the route. Ojeda and Vespucci lost sight of each other during the crossing to South America.

Via Trinidad, Venezuela and Bonaire, Vespucci ended up in Curaçao. The explorers saw large footprints on the island. They followed the trail and eventually came across five women, who had a firm demeanor. Vespucci initially called the island (originally) "the island of the giants". Curaçao is so named (registered) on the first map of the west.

There are several theories as to how Curaçao got its name. It is possible that the Indian tribe was called "Curaçaos". Curaçao means 'heart' in Portuguese. This is also a well-known explanation.
