Aruba Alto Vista Chapel
Alto Vista Kapel Aruba.
Op een hoge vlakte aan de noordkust ligt de kapel van Alto Vista. Op deze plaats, een ruim 70 m. hoge kalksteenheuvel, werd in 1750 door de in deze omgeving wonende Indianen de eerste katholieke kapel van het eiland gebouwd. Op de stenen ondergrond werd van takken een kerkje gebouwd, dat in 1816 weer werd gesloten omdat de plaatselijke bevolking in verband met een besmettelijke ziekte was weggetrokken en daarna is het langzaam maar zeker vergaan. Mensen die later in de nabijheid van deze plaats gingen wonen hielden de plaats waar de kapel gestaan had echter in ere en regelmatig ging men bidden bij de fundamenten en resten van de vergane kapel. In 1952 heeft men ter herinnering aan deze eerste kerk op Aruba op de plaats van de oude kerk een nieuwe Mariakapel gebouwd. Daarin bevindt zich het Spaanse kruisbeeld, dat in het eerste kerkje ook heeft gestaan. Dit kruisbeeld is één van de oudste kunstvoorwerpen op Aruba. Elk jaar wordt er in oktober een bedevaart gehouden. De weg naar de kapel is voorzien van witte kruisbeelden.

10. De Palm Island Aruba
Searching for a getaway while in Aruba that offers a little bit of everything? Then you’ll want to sign up for this all-inclusive private island adventure.
9. Bushiribana Gold Mill
When explorers first stumbled on the New World, most were in search of riches, especially gold. And in 1824, those dreams of riches finally came true in Aruba when gold was discovered by a 12-year-old shepherd boy while he was herding sheep.
8. Alto Vista Chapel
Even if you’re not a Catholic, you’ll want to check out Alto Vista Chapel, which is located on a hill near the town of Noord. Officially known as “Our Lady of Alto Vista,” this was the first Catholic church in Aruba.
7. Donkey Sanctuary Aruba
Though donkeys are not native to Aruba, they did play a very important role in the country’s history. For many years, they were the main form of transportation for locals and also helped with the building of this nation.
6. California Lighthouse
This stone lighthouse, which was built between 1914 and 1916, is one of Aruba’s most well-known landmarks. It is named after the S.S. California, which was a ship that sank in 1910.
5. Antilla Wreck
The SS Antilla, which is the second largest shipwreck dive in the Caribbean, met its demise in quite the dramatic fashion. In 1940, less than one year after the ship made its maiden voyage, its own German crew set it ablaze rather than have it captured.
4. Baby Beach
Baby Beach is one of Aruba’s best-known beaches. It is a beautiful, shallow, man-made lagoon with very calm waters, making it perfect for children. Baby Beach is also popular with kite boarders and windsurfers.
3. Arikok National Park
If you’re a nature lover, then you’ll definitely want to check out Arikok National Park, which covers approximately 20 percent of the island.
2. Oranjestad
Oranjestad is the biggest city in Aruba and also its capital. It is also a popular cruise ship port. So don’t be surprised if the streets are occasionally crowded with cruise ship passengers checking out the town’s shops and restaurants.
1. Palm Beach
Palm Beach is where you can find the majority of Aruba’s high-rise resorts. This area also boasts many restaurants, casinos, bars and shops. So if you won’t be renting a car, Palm Beach would be the best place to visit in Aruba as it is very walkable.

Aruba Vacation Resorts
In addition to white sand beaches and Caribbean beauty, Aruba has a wealth of history and exceptional sites to offer. Though you may not want to leave your plush beach resort, you should certainly explore some of these sites located throughout the island. Here are some helpful travel tips for the adventurous traveler.
Throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, adventurers traveled throughout the Caribbean in search of wealth and treasures. One of the most precious sites of that era was the island of Oro Ruba, or red gold. Today, the island of Aruba retains traces of this colorful history, courtesy of remains from the Bushiribana and Balashi gold mining operations and longstanding pirate lore.
The caves of Aruba are commonly cited by locals as former pirate hideouts, though each site is visually fascinating enough to warrant a visit. The Guadirikiri Cave is famous for its dual sunlit chambers that create a picture perfect backdrop. The Fontein Cave is the most popular of the caves being one of the most accessible sites with Arawak Indian drawings. The Huliba Cave, known as the Tunnel of Love, features a heart-shaped opening and an expansive 300-foot long passage.
One of Aruba's most photographed sites, the California Lighthouse is named for the famous wreck off these same shorelines. Located at the northwestern tip of the island, the terrain surrounding the lighthouse features both dramatic rock shorelines and rolling sand dunes.
The bizarre rock formations of Aruba are another worthwhile site as they are truly unlike anything you can find at home. The area surrounding the Casibari Boulders has several trails, offering some of the best views of the island from atop the stones. The Ayo Rock Formations are often compared to the fictional town of Bedrock from The Flinstones. Once an ancient settlement, petroglyphs are visible on many of the boulders.
The Government of Aruba has dedicated approximately 18% of the island to the Arikok National Park. With miles of walking trails, this public park is the centerpiece of Aruba's environmental preservation efforts. To learn more about the park and its unique wildlife, it is worthwhile to schedule a guided tour as part of your vacation package. Prepare yourself for everything from exotic cacti, flowers, divi-divi trees and massive aloe plants to rare birds and photogenic iguanas. Also, this is the best location for those panoramic Caribbean views, as Aruba's highest peaks lie within the park.
Of course, there is more to Aruba than natural splendor. In addition to excellent shopping opportunities, Aruba's capital of Oranjestad features a number of distinctive museums. The Historical Museum, situated in the oldest building in Aruba, displays a fascinating collection ranging from indigenous artifacts to Spanish and Dutch colonial items. To learn more about Aruba's past, visit the Archaeological Museum, an organization dedicated exclusively to the display and preservation of ancient pottery, tools and art from Aruba's indigenous cultures. Also in central Oranjestad, the Numismatic Museum displays over 30,000 historic coins from around the world.
The second largest city in Aruba, San Nicolas, is a great stop for the alternative tourist.
For decades, Charlie's Bar has been one of the city's primary destinations, owing to its fame as a makeshift museum of underwater discoveries. Since the 1940′s, scuba divers have hung anything and everything on Charlie's walls. The diversity of Charlie's strange collection has only added to San Nicolas' relaxed, offbeat reputation. Just a short drive from San Nicolas you'll find the Lourdes Grotto, an enchanting Catholic shrine built directly into a black rock hillside.
For the fan of such religious architecture, Aruba has several other unique sites to offer. The picturesque Chapel of Alto Vista, constructed by the Spanish as Aruba's first, exudes tranquility from its spectacular setting above the ocean. Church of Noord, constructed between 1914 and 1919, is a fine example of neo-Gothic architecture. It is even possible to be married in one of Aruba's churches as part of your vacation package.
For a little privacy after your exploring, try escaping to one of the smaller islands surrounding Aruba. Renaissance Island is a private hideaway for guests of the Renaissance Hotel. This unique beach resort lies just off shore and features all the amenities one might need for a day in the sun. Also just a 5 minute ferry ride from the mainland, De Palm Island is a favorite of snorkelers and scuba divers in search of that perfect reef.
