Famous for its white powdery beaches, Aruba is a beautiful island situated in the Southern Caribbean Sea, about 50 miles (81 kilometers) west of Curacao (which we read about 2 weeks ago). As mentioned in the article, Aruba contains unique treasures such as: a windblown national park of volcanic crags and raging waves; a revitalizing town lined with mosaics and murals; and an offshore shipwreck considered one of the best wreck dives in the world. These are rare luxury, and as a tourist, that’s the type of things/places you can plan an outing for you and your love one to get into. It’s not every day you get the chance to see and experience such magnifique treasures. If I were to travel to Aruba, I would definitely take full advantage of the opportunity and visit as many attractions as I can.
I’m also a thalassophile, a trip to “Eagle Beach” would be ideal for me. It has some of the most beautiful turquoise water and white sand on the island. Located in Oranjestad, an area known for its resorts and top tourist attractions, after a fun-relaxing day at the beach, a quick stroll around the area would be the icing on the cake. I mean what’s the point of going on vacation if you mainly spend your time indoors? I said, grab your sunscreen, a hat, pack a light snack and water, and head outdoor. In a place like Aruba, there are all kinds of things to see and lots of opportunities for fun. Get out there, mingle with the locals, and learn new things about the island.
Aruba is also known for its wonderful blend of Caribbean, Latin American and Dutch influenced meals, with its own Aruban twist. I’m a sucker for great, tasty, colorful foods with mouthwatering flavors, that’s without any doubt my all-time weakness. As a self-proclaimed chef and foodie, although this place is a bit pricey, a visit to Papiamento sounds fun and very exciting. Diving into the local food scene in Aruba would be a nice way to enjoy my stay and get familiar with the many cuisine there. But with so many great restaurants around town, I know it would be hard to explore/visit them all, so getting a unique experience of at least one or two of the bunch, learning about the history behind some of their most famous dish would’ve been awesome.
Other than a day at the beach, or eating out, I’d also love to take the time to visit the aloe factory, and also San Nicolas (a historic small town with an interesting history). To top it all off, I would include a little shopping in my plans, so you could definitely find me out and about, gathering different items and souvenirs to bring back home. Overall, Aruba seems to be a beautiful place to visit, with lots of things to offer, I would definitely recommend it!!!
