Aruba

Aruba pairs an arid, wind-shaped landscape with a distinctly Caribbean tempo, reflecting its position in the southern Caribbean just north of Venezuela. Trade winds pass over limestone terraces, cacti and divi-divi trees, while beaches trace the leeward coast beside the Caribbean Sea; the eastern shore is markedly more rugged. Arikok National Park protects nearly one-fifth of the island, including dry terrain and coastal formations. In Oranjestad, Aruba’s capital, Dutch-Caribbean influences shape the built environment and everyday life. Papiamento and Dutch are the island’s official languages.
