The Curacao Island is positioned on the continental shelf of South America. Like the other islands of Bonaire and Aruba, Curacao is also situated outside the Hurricane Alley of the Caribbean Sea.

The island has a hilly terrain and Mount Christoffel is the island’s highest point, which rises to an elevation of 372 m and is located in the northwestern part of the island. Many bays, inlets, and hot springs are also situated along the island’s coastline. Situated in the southern part of the island is Willemstad, the capital and the largest city of Curaçao.
