See Aruba from a new perspective. Aboard the spacious Palm Pleasure, a 70-foot-long and 40-foot-wide catamaran, you’ll be treated to scenic stops along the coast, where you can take in the breadth of marine life on the island. A favorite snorkeling destination is the Antilla, a famous World War II shipwreck that is now flourishing with coral formations and curious fish. Enjoy the constant breeze and let the smell of sea salt fill your lungs as you coast above the waves, while basking in the sun on the oversized frontal netting area with a cocktail

Aruba's distinct geography and history make it an ideal destination for history buffs and nature lovers alike.

ALTO VISTA CHAPEL

The picturesque Chapel of Alto Vista was the island's first Roman Catholic Church, built in 1750 and reconstructed in 1953. The small, bright yellow chapel is reached by a winding road, lined with white crosses marking the Stations of the Cross.

BUSHIRIBANA GOLD MILL RUINS

In the 1400s and 1500s, adventurers traveled throughout the Caribbean in search of wealth and treasure. According to legend, Aruba's name comes from "Oro Ruba," which means "red gold."

In 1824, gold was finally discovered in Aruba, and the industry produced more

DPTEM_1516_28_Landmarks.indd 28

than 3 million pounds of gold. Today, remnants of this history can be seen at places such as the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins on the northern coast. The abandoned gold mill once processed ore from mines in the nearby hills during Aruba's gold rush of the 19th century.

CASIBARI ROCK FORMATION

Casibari's huge tonalite boulders sit together in an area just north of Hooiberg. This rock formation rises up from the desert soil to create an unusual setting and spectacular photo opportunities. Some of the boulders weigh several tons and feature peculiar forms. The Government of Aruba has

created walking trails and steps through the boulders, allowing hikers to reach the top to obtain breathtaking views of the island.

CALIFORNIA LIGHTHOUSE

Found on the north side of the island, the hilltop landmark was built in 1914 to warn ships nearing Aruba. Also known as "Hudishibana," it was named after an American steamship that wrecked off the shore in the late 1800s. The lighthouse is still in operation today. While the interior of the structure is closed, the views are stunning and it is a great place to watch the Caribbean sunset. The lighthouse is currently under renovation, expected to be completed by mid-2016.

11/10/15 3:21 PM

WE LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU! Post photos and share stories via Facebook.com/ArubaActivities.

Tweet us @depalmtours #DePalmTours

After the renovation, the tower will be open to the public again to offer great views from above.

NATURAL POOL

On a deserted stretch of coastline, dramatic shows of water spraying over the rock occur on a regular basis as the tide rushes to shore. In a unique formation of rock, volcanic stone circles a small depression, creating a tranquil pool known locally as "conchi" or "Cura di Tortuga."

NATURAL BRIDGE

For thousands of years, pounding waves and strong winds have slowly chiseled away at the limestone cliffs along Aruba’s

north coast to create several natural bridges. The largest of these bridges used to be the famous Natural Bridge, which collapsed on September 2, 2005. Despite this, it is still the most photographed natural bridge and it remains a popular tourist attraction in Aruba, with the adjacent and intact Baby Bridge also meriting a visit. The natural arch (as it used to be), measured approximately 25 feet (7.6 m) high and 100 feet (30 m) long, and was the remnant of an ancient cave. Since the collapsed bridge is now blocking the ocean from the beach, magnificent sceneries of the waves bursting against the rocks can be viewed from the bay behind the ruins of the bridge.

The Natural Bridge and Baby Bridge are a stop during many island tours and can also be reached with your own car. The roads are not perfectly paved, but a 4WD is not necessary. The Natural Bridge is just a little farther down from Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins, passing the Ostrich Farm.

From the Natural Bridge you’ll have a view to Andicuri Beach. This beach can only be reached with a proper 4WD or organized off-road safari (see page 25 -> UTV). For tours to the Natural Bridge by bus, see page 26 and by Land Rover see page 23. (-> natural pool tour only).
