If you like warm, arid weather, beautiful sunny beaches, and
stunning sunsets, Aruba might be the perfect vacation spot for you. This little
treasure in the Caribbean caters to tourists, especially from the United
States, so many people find this to be a great destination. If you’re
interested in Caribbean travel, check out what Aruba has to offer to you.
Aruba is found not far north of Venezuela and is part of the
Kingdom of the Netherlands. One of the best things about this island is its
climate. Unlike many of the other island in the Caribbean, Aruba does not have
a generally rainy climate, and in fact is home to desert-like terrain featuring
a few species of cacti.
The standard of living in Aruba is very high, and they cater
toward a classy, high-end market. Therefore, if you wish to travel to Aruba,
your stay may be a bit pricier than in some of the nearby islands in the
Caribbean, like the Bahamas or Jamaica. However, the stay is definitely worth
it. Aruba has famous white sand beaches and beautiful clear blue waters. If you
like water sports, you don’t have to lie on the beach all day! You can try
diving, snorkeling, sailing, swimming, parasailing, jet skiing, or any number
of other fun adventures.
The Carnival season is important in Aruba and takes place
from January until Ash Wednesday. Just as in many other Caribbean countries,
Carnival in Aruba has a variety of great festivities in which vacationers on
the island can take part. This includes midway games and children’s rides, parades,
contests, parties, and special foods. If you’re looking for an exciting time to
visit Aruba, try during the Carnival season.
Because the majority of this island’s revenue comes from
tourism, and many of their tourists come from the United States, Aruba’s
residents usually speak English. The America dollar is also widely accepted
(for a fee) in the major shopping and restaurant districts, and the exchange
rate is fairly fixed, so money is easily exchanged if you want to do so. More
and more, Aruba is becoming a second home for the wealthy from the United
States and from around the world.
Aruba can be your sole vacation destination, and you
can fly directly into the country’s large public airport, or you can take a
cruise throughout the Caribbean islands and stop to enjoy Aruba for the day.
The island has a little something for everyone, so whether you like a relaxing
vacation to sleep in the sun or an exciting vacation full of adventure, Aruba
is a destination in the Caribbean that you should consider.
