Aruba

The landscape on Aruba is bare and desert-like. In fact, the island is anything but a paradise. That is, if it were not for the beaches, which stretch for miles along the coats, promising idyllic days by the turquoise ocean. That is the trump card for the island’s tourist industry, which has made a name for itself with extremely good hotel facilities with a US layout set in luxurious holiday parks, and lively nightlife.

Away from the really entrancing sandy beaches, there are a couple of little gems well worth an excursion. In the caves of Fontain and Guadirikiri, Indians have left traces of themselves that are still not completely understood. In Sabana Besora, Italian builders in the beginning of the last century decorated some apartment houses with pretty ornaments. Another adventure is a dive to the ghost ship Antilla, which has lain off the northwest coast of Aruba for sixty years, and is now home to iridescent fish and gaudy corals.
