Aruba

Aruba is a unique, diverse place. It was first inhabited by Indians from the South American mainland and then by a parade of European settlers .

For hundreds of years, this tiny nation remained the pawn of great powers until achieving its autonomous status within the Dutch Kingdom some twenty years ago.

Aruba 's people speak a minimum of four languages: English, Spanish, Dutch and Papiamento. The island is surrounded by azure Caribbean waters. Divi-divi trees always point in the direction of the ever blowing winds, while its leeward shores are a paradise of ivory white sandy beaches and crystal blue calm waters.

The Arikok National Park is swarming with animal life well-adapted to the harsh elements. Some species are only found on Aruba, as is a unique mineral known as Hooibergite.
