This stuff makes me think the whole thing is hooey, fitting together bits of things that have come out with an active imagination. Could be a local posting, or could be a semi-literate from anywhere, or might be someone pretending to be. Trying to remember, but I guess Curacao is 10 - 15 min. away by air on small plane; only island that is. VZ is an even shorter air trip. It's flying to someplace you can see from the ground, and if it weren't for the water, nobody would fly to it.
JMO, but it strikes me as wrong.
One more thing: There’s NO jungle on Curacao. S.A. is the closest “jungle” and that wouldn’t be the northern coasts of either VZ or Columbia. Who refers to “the rain forest” as jungle anymore? Not sure what they call it other places, but I’m positive that the Dutch run schools are at least p.c. enough to not refer to it as a jungle anymore. This person MAY be old and still remember when that term was used. Young people wouldn’t know what you meant is my guess.

May never even have been there from the references I noted. There’s probably not a soul living on Aruba who hasn’t been to Curacao, and no one would ever say that Curacao had a “jungle” or rain forst. NO RAIN except for storms. Not enough to keep much vegetation without watering.
