Arikok
National Park
Rock formations showcase Aruban geology. A natural
habitat for indigenous plants and animals, including species found
only in Aruba. Some of the island's best examples of early Indian
art are preserved within the park.
The
Quadirikiri cave
Famous
for its two chambers where sunlight shines through and is the
perfect backdrop for unique pictures. Be adventurous and dare
to go down the 100-ft. long tunnel, home of hundreds of harmless
bats. The Fontein cave is the most popular of the caves as it
is the only one that has Indian drawings on the ceilings, providing
a real sense of island history to this cave.
Natural
Bridge
Aruba's
famed Natural Bridge rises 25 feet above the sea and spans a hundred
feet of rock-strewn waters carved out of solid coral by centuries
of relentless pounding by the Atlantic surf. It is the Caribbean
area's highest and most dramatic coral structure.
Natural
Pool
The
natural pool or "conchi" called "cura ditortuga" is a secret,
hidden pool on the windward coast surrounded by rocks and a perfect
getaway for a moment of total relaxation.
