Stop At: California Lighthouse, Northern Aruba North end of L. G. Smith Boulevard, Noord Aruba
We begin our tour at the California Lighthouse. It’s not named after the state... it’s named after the S.S. California steamship. Let's go back in time, to September 23rd, 1891.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Catalina Cove, Noord, Aruba
You’ve probably heard all about pirates burying treasure in coves like this one, but don't get your hopes up for finding any forgotten pirate treasure. Pirate life moved too fast and ended too soon for long-term investments like that.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Alto Vista Chapel, Noord Aruba
Coming up ahead is the little Alto Vista Chapel. While this version was constructed in 1952, the original dates back to the 18th century. Right at the height of piracy’s golden age.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Casibari Rock Formations, Aruba
Casibari really stands out because so few large rocks remain on Aruba. Most have long ago been crushed and eroded into sand. There may once have been lots more formations like this, but they now make up the island’s many beaches.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Ayo Rock Formations, Aruba
You’ll notice the slightly alien appearance of the rock right away. The Arawak people considered such formations to be sacred sites.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins, Spanish Lagoon, Oranjestad Aruba
The Spanish first came to Aruba seeking gold, but they didn’t find anything. Of course, their presence meant that pirates roamed these seas too, looking for the same thing. But they also thought Aruba was deserted.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Donkey Sanctuary Aruba, Bringamosa 2Z, Santa Cruz 11111 Aruba
The donkey industry, of course, pretty much vanished with the invention of the car. Slowly, owners of buricos released them into the wild.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Balashi Gold Mill Ruins, Ao lado da Spanish Lagoon, Oranjestad Aruba
As the other mill we visited enjoyed its golden years, another company built this mine, this time with some slightly better planning.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Hooiberg, Oranjestad Aruba
Hooiberg is a huge rocky formation rising 541 feet above sea level. The name is derived from the Dutch word for haystack. From a distance, you can see why they picked this name hundreds of years ago.
