LANDHUIS SAN JUAN

San Juan Soto, Willemstad

See route

The plantation San Juan was built in 1662 and is located between the plantations Cas Abou and Santa Martha. Early in the 17th century maize, sugar-cane, cotton and indigo were grown and live stock was breaded in this fertile valley. San Juan is unique because history is relatively well documented. There's a slave book, in which the pregnant slaves are described that delivered their babies in the small room on the west side of the colonial home. San Juan is worth a visit because of the cool, shady driveway with Mansalinjas leading up to the plantation. We also strongly recommend a visit to one of the three cosy bays of the plantation.
