Aruba
The ideal Caribbean vacation used to mean hours of tanning on the
beach, and margarita in hand. Today's traveler, however, seeks
engaging and enriching activities as an alternative to simply
lounging around the hotel. The trend towards active vacations can be
seen in the growing awareness in ecotourism and interest in outdoor
activities such as hiking, biking and climbing.
The island of Aruba
is responding to this increasing demand for active vacations by
proving that it has much more to offer than Caribbean sun and sand.
The island, 20 miles long by 6 miles wide, is the right size for
convenient exploration off the beaten path while the semi-arid
topography and geological formations offer a wealth of activities
distinct from other Caribbean isles. With an incredible marine life
as well, Aruba's diversity provides adventure for water babies and
landlubbers alike. |
