Check your phone coverage abroad
INFOYou're travelling to Curaçao (CW). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
Malaria-endemic destination: Ecuador (EC)
INFOYour itinerary touches Ecuador (EC), where malaria transmission occurs. Transmission is often region-limited within a country (e.g. coastal vs highland zones) and varies by season. Discuss prophylaxis with a travel medicine clinician — the right antimalarial depends on the specific region, your medical history, and any medications you take.
High-altitude stop at UIO (~2812m)
INFOYour itinerary touches UIO at ~2812m (~9230ft). Above ~2500m / 8200ft, roughly a quarter of unacclimated visitors experience some acute mountain sickness symptoms (headache, shortness of breath, fatigue) within the first day. Plan a slower first 24-48 hours, hydrate, and avoid alcohol on arrival. People with heart, lung, or sickle-cell conditions, and pregnant travellers, should discuss with a clinician before booking — some itineraries warrant prophylactic acetazolamide or a route change.
Fill out Curaçao Digital Immigration Card before you fly
WARNCuraçao (CW) requires every traveller to submit the Curaçao Digital Immigration Card for entry — best done a few days before departure rather than in the airport queue. Without it, expect to be pulled aside at the border or denied boarding. Apply at: https://dicardcuracao.com/dicard
Bring a Yellow Fever certificate for Curaçao (CW)
INFOBecause you're flying in from Ecuador (EC), Curaçao (CW)'s entry rules require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination. The standard document is the yellow WHO Yellow Card (ICVP) signed by the clinic that vaccinated you. If you can't be vaccinated for medical reasons a physician-signed exemption letter is the alternative — both check-in agents and border officers vary in how strictly they accept exemptions, so plan for the strictest reading. Add your YF status to your profile for guidance specific to your situation.
