Aruba
Choosing one of the Caribbean islands to make the trip of our dreams is not always an easy task, from Vuela Viajes we want to recommend the island of Aruba , an unknown paradise and an original destination to disconnect from your daily routine.

Where is Aruba?

First we are going to situate ourselves. Aruba is one of the islands of the Lesser Antilles located in the heart of the southern Caribbean , just 15 miles off the Venezuelan coast. The area of Aruba is about 184 square kilometers with about 9 kilometers at the widest place and 30 kilometers long. Its population has about 110,000 inhabitants made up of a mixture of various races. The island is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (together with the Netherlands Antilles and the Netherlands) although Aruba is not part of the European Union. The most used language is Papiamento , which is an evolution of old Spanish and therefore you will not have many problems communicating.

What makes it a special place?

Aruba is characterized by having beautiful quiet and soft white sand beaches , in which you reach a state of relaxation ideal to not think about worries, but on the other hand the island also knows our adventurous side and therefore has beaches with large waves and wind for all kinds of water sports.

Another aspect of Aruba that makes it so special is its climate, as it turns the island into a tropical paradise throughout the year, ranging between 25º and 31º from January to December . Also geographically it is in a very privileged area of ​​the Caribbean , because it is not within the area where the anger of hurricanes acts, and therefore the suffering of possible catastrophes in your vacation place is over.

But do not think that Aruba is just a privileged island without more, it is also characterized by its nightlife, its world-class food and the cultural attractions that make it a great escape for all types of vacations.

Places of interest in Aruba: Apart from the kilometers of beach that we can enjoy in Aruba , there are several places of interest for the traveler that should not be missed. If we are lucky enough to be able to enjoy this paradise, what we cannot miss is its capital, Oranjestad , characterized by its pastel-colored Dutch colonial architecture, where every morning in the port, fishermen sell fresh fish directly from their boats, in addition the capital has a commercial center, which is the best area of ​​the island for shopping.

Another recommended visit is the natural bridge of Aruba , it is called the Natural Bridge because it rises 8 meters above the sea and has a length of 30 meters, it is a coral limestone formation sculpted by centuries of incessant breaking of the waves and it is said that It is one of the longest in the world.

But if what you are looking for is a little adventure in Aruba , you cannot miss the incredible search for the natural pool or “conchi” called “Cura di Tortuga” , which is located in a remote part of the island surrounded by the most tortuous terrain. and the most dangerous roads in Aruba , but once discovered, it is the perfect place for a moment of total relaxation. The use of 4 × 4 or horses is recommended to reach the area.

Things to keep in mind when traveling to Aruba

– If you want to turn on your laptop or any type of electronic device you will need an adapter since the electrical network goes to 110V , if you do not take it, ask for it at the hotel that they will surely leave it for you.
