Aruba

Aruba sits at the southern edge of the Caribbean, dry and scrubby where most people expect lush jungle, buffeted by a near-constant trade wind that keeps the heat honest. Cacti and divi-divi trees bent permanently westward by the wind define the interior, while the western coast opens onto calm, pale-blue water.

About Aruba

Overview

Aruba lies roughly 29 kilometres north of Venezuela and sits outside the Atlantic hurricane belt, which shapes both its climate and its tourism calendar. A constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, its official languages are Papiamento and Dutch, and the Aruban florin is pegged to the US dollar. The island blends Dutch administrative heritage with a distinctly Caribbean and Latin American character.
