The moment we embarked to Aruba, time and space became irrelevant, and all we cared about was disconnection from a busy world of greed. We didn’t care if it’s sunny or rainy, we just wanted to get out of the concrete jungle, that’s all. And what a good idea that was.
Very few places on Earth you could find clear water like in the Caribbeans, and only here you have the privilege of the mix of Dutch and tropical cultures like nowhere else. The foods, the people, the good vibes from people willing to make your stay a great time are rare, and we cherished it a lot.
The touristy and more developed area is on the West side as expected. On the East you’ll find more locals and far cheaper rates for everything. We don’t want to give you too many details and spoil the experience, but rent a car and explore the island’s extraordinary vibe. You will love it.
Besides gorgeous beaches, Aruba has 2 small natural caves as well, and they are located on the North-East side in the Arikok National Park. A few bucks to get into the National Park and there you go in the middle of a virgin place.
As deduced from the cave, Aruba has been placed on a massive paleo reef. Snorkeling spots are all over the island with active reefs around, like Malmok Reef, Blue Reef, Lago Reef, etc.
With so many articles and blogs out there, we’ll let you the pleasure of discovering this amazing island of Aruba. Bon Bini a Aruba 🙂 and find out more on Aruba’s official website.
The official languages of Aruba are Papiamento and Dutch, but most residents also speak English and Spanish. Papiamentu, a Creole language, is the primary language spoken by the majority of the population. Learn a bit of Papiamento greetings.
