Aruba - North Shore
Along the north shore of Aruba, we were mesmerized by the swells of the sea as the water clings to the walls of the rocky cliff, and its power is evident by the way it carves out the rugged shoreline. It is a wonderful sight to see and although the lighthouse is the highlighted attraction, this is the real beauty. Nature!
Alto Vista Chapel, Aruba
The Alto Vista Chapel is considered to be the birthplace of Aruba's Catholic religion and is the first Chapel to be built on the island by the Indians and the Spanish Pioneers over 250 years ago. You’ll find the bright yellow chapel between cactus and dirt roads and when you stand in front of the chapel the back drop of the waves crashing against huge rocks is amazing!
Alto Vista Trail
This trail can be found behind the Alto Vista Chapel, and leads hikers to the coastline of Aruba.
Alto Vista Chapel Labyrinth
Behind the gorgeous Alto Vista Chapel there is also an incredible peace labyrinth to be explored. There is no right way to walk a labyrinth. You only have to enter and follow the path.

Arikok National Park, Aruba
Arikok National Park takes up approximately 18 percent of the island of Aruba. First designated as an important national area in the 1980s, Arikok National Park is home to popular hiking trails, covering all kinds of terrain from hills to sand dunes, beaches to caves. Notable caves in the park include Fontein Cave and Quadirikiri Cave.
Natural Bridge, Aruba
For thousands of years, pounding waves and strong winds have slowly chiseled away at the limestone cliffs along Aruba’s north coast to create several natural bridges. Before collapsing in 2005, the largest of these bridges was the famous Natural Bridge between the Bushiribana gold mine ruins and Andicuri Beach.

Divi Divi
The famous Divi Divi tree is Aruba's natural compass, always pointing in a southwesterly direction due to the trade winds that blow across the island from the north-east. An interesting observation is that attempts to plant this tree in other parts of the world have proved futile - it seems the Divi Divi is most comfortable in Aruba!
