Hofi Mango
INSIDE HOFI MANGO
Experience the nature of Curacao! The beautiful historic Hofi Mango was established as a plantation in 1707. In addition to mangoes, other crops were also grown, such as sugar cane. The traditional rum of Curacao, called “Geldduivel”, was distilled from this sugar cane. The sugar cane was pressed in a specially built sugar mill; a windmill based on the Dutch model. This historic sugar mill is the only one in the Caribbean and is the eye-catcher of Hofi Mango.
