Landscape
Aruba, located off the coast of Venezuela, boasts a diverse and captivating landscape. The island is known for its arid climate and desert-like environment, with scattered cacti, rocky terrain, and unparalleled vistas of bright blue waters. One unique feature is the Arikok National Park, which makes up almost 20% of the island's landmass and features rugged limestone hills dotted with ancient petroglyphs, hidden caves and stunning beaches like Dos Playa. The park also hosts rare wildlife such as burrowing owls, Aruban whiptail lizards and rattlesnakes. In addition to its desert-like lands, lush greens cover part of the island- especially on its north-eastern coast where bristled bushes crowd around green shrubs creating a natural labyrinth that is perfect for exploration by foot or bike. Aruba's diverse and awe-inspiring landscape promises visitors an unforgettable experience unlike any other in the Caribbean region.
