Aruba

By Traveller On July 13, 2008 No Comments

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.

It would not be quite accurate to call the island pretty – the landscape is quite austere and even desert-like, with big cacti in the east.

This island is something special among the pearls of the Caribbean, with its strong American flavour mixed with easy-going Latin-American elegance. Culture fans can stroll through the preserved old town of San Juan, while sun-worshippers can give themselves up to the Caribbean sun on countless beaches, and the more sporting can enjoy the immense and varied range of water sports and other activities on offer on the shimmering turquoise ocean. Those in search of night-life can salsa from bar to bar and experience what everyone on the island knows as “pura vida”.
