LATAM Airlines Expands Curaçao Connections with New Flights to Lima and Bogotá Enhancing South American Access

LATAM Airlines has expanded its connections from Curaçao to South America by launching two new direct flights to Bogotá, Colombia, and Lima, Peru. This strategic move, initiated on December 2, 2025, enhances accessibility for South American travelers to the beautiful Caribbean island.

Curaçao’s Commitment to South American Tourism

Curaçao is focused on diversifying its tourism market, aiming to attract more visitors from Latin America. The newly inaugurated Bogotá-Curaçao route will operate three times a week, specifically on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. In contrast, the Lima-Curaçao route, marking the first direct service from Peru, will fly on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

• Bogotá-Curaçao Flight: Three flights per week.
• Lima-Curaçao Flight: First direct link to Peru with three flights per week.

Both routes will utilize LATAM’s modern Airbus A320 aircraft, ensuring a comfortable travel experience for passengers.

Connecting with a Thriving Travel Market

Peru’s outbound travel market is rapidly expanding. As demand for travel increases, especially among Peruvians seeking new destinations, Curaçao finds itself well-positioned to attract these tourists. LATAM Airlines’ Lima hub serves as a critical link for travelers heading to various locations across South America.

The direct connection to Curaçao simplifies travel for millions from Peru and surrounding nations, including Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. South American tourists typically explore deeper into their destinations, making Curaçao an enticing option for those interested in unique cultural experiences.

The launch of these new flights signifies the strengthening collaboration between LATAM Airlines and Curaçao. Both tourism and aviation officials from the island participated in a ceremony marking this milestone.

Infrastructure Investments for Future Growth

In anticipation of increased tourist arrivals, Curaçao is experiencing a surge in interest from international hotel chains. Local accommodations are expanding to meet the expected influx of South American visitors. These tourists are drawn to both cultural experiences and relaxation.

• Highlights of Curaçao:
  • World-class diving spots.
  • Vibrant local markets.
  • Historical landmarks.

The island’s diverse blend of Afro-Caribbean, Dutch, and Latin heritage makes it an attractive destination for South American tourists seeking a richer vacation experience.

Implications for Curaçao’s Tourism Future

With the introduction of LATAM’s flights, Curaçao is transitioning into a new era of tourism, now appealing to a broader audience from Latin America. Historically popular among North American and European travelers, the island is poised to become a favorite Caribbean destination for Latin Americans.

This expansion aligns with Curaçao’s goals to diversify its tourism base and reach new markets. The routes to Bogotá and Lima present significant opportunities for growth, attracting travelers eager to explore the island’s history, culture, and natural beauty.

While the new routes are a promising step forward, maintaining sustained demand will be crucial. Curaçao must continue to adapt its offerings to meet the expectations of South American travelers to build on the momentum created by these new flights. Optimistic local officials believe that Curaçao’s well-prepared tourism sector will ensure a successful future.
