Aruba, an island just 27 km north of Venezuela is one of the constituent countries of the kingdom of the Netherlands. It is known for its magnificent natural beaches and clean cities. Aruba lies outside the hurricane belt in the Caribbean, annual rainfall rarely crosses 20 inches (approx 500 mm) giving the island year round for tourists. This is truly a paradise. Why do you think Aruba is called the beautiful queen of the Caribbean ocean?
