EXPERIENCE THE ISLAND LIFE OF ARUBA
In the southernmost part of the Caribbean, along the coast of Venezuela, lies lovely Aruba, which basks in the glory of its many fine attributes – beautiful beaches, a colorful underwater world, lively gaming casinos and cultural diversity.
Throughout much of its history, Aruba was ruled by the Dutch and remained part of the Netherlands Antilles until 1986. Today, the colonial Dutch buildings in the capital city of Oranjestad are a charming reminder of the island’s ancestral ties with Europe, but you’ll find that the fun-loving Arubans are far more Latin in spirit.
Situated just 18 miles off the coast of Venezuela, Aruba is strongly influenced by Latin America. Arubans love to dance and hypnotic rumba rhythms sway them into a festive mood. Aruba is known for its casinos, too; the Alhambra Casino is said to be one of the nicest in the Dutch Antilles.
Aruba also has some of the best stretches of beach to be found anywhere in the Caribbean. And though it is hot and dry (there is no rainy season), the island is cooled by constant trade winds.
The island’s two-mile strip known as Palm Beach is teeming with high-rise hotels, restaurants and
bars, and Latin rhythms waft from the terraces. Palm Beach, also known as Eagle Beach, is the
widest and most breathtaking beach on the island. Clear Caribbean waters and pristine white sand draw visitors, but shaded picnic areas and ample parking keep them there. The beach offers a unique and special attraction a few months a year. Four turtle species – Leatherback, Loggerhead, Green and Hawksbill – choose Eagle Beach as their nesting place. They typically hatch around sunset, so stick around after the day’s sunbathing and water sports come to a close.
One sight in Aruba that can’t be missed is its volcanic formation, which stands in the center of the isle. About 540 feet above sea level, Hooiberg (Dutch
for haystack) provides a sweeping view of the island and beyond. On clear days, Venezuela is visible in the distance. Climbing the Hooiberg is a bit of an adventure – there are about 587 steps to the top
of the hill. Although not the highest point on the island, visitors feel like they’re on top of the world from this vantage point.
