Arubas Old Gold Mills

Arubas Old Gold Mills

Tracing its origin as a gold town, many adventurers and settlers in the 1500s, dubbed Aruba as a rich land full of Oro Ruba or red gold. Thus, there were many attempts to capture this Caribbean island in search of the natural treasure. Today, Aruba as it is now called still has many evidences of its origins, one of which are the gold mills that have now become popular tourist destinations. Theres the Bushiribana Gold Mills found at the islands northern part where 3 million pounds of gold was produced starting in 1824 until the supply ran dry, still the Bushiribana is a beautiful site to see beside the equally beautiful Aruban beach. Theres also the Balashi Gold Mill which is found on the islands Spanish Lagoon. Balashi was part of the gold mining industry and traces of their popularity are clearly seen with the remaining gold smelters in this historic structure.

Checking out the Horseback Riding Scene in Aruba

From its Spanish Roots, Aruba developed a fondness for horses that is still inculcated in their local culture today with many Arubans subconsciously developing a fondness for these four-legged creatures, becoming enthusiasts or professional riders. Sharing their love for these four-legged creatures, Luis and Ramon Herrera decided to make the Rancho la Ponderosa, dedicated to provide tourists and locals the experience of riding a horse through different Aruban terrain. With 30 years of experience under their belt, the Rancho la Ponderosa holds many riding tours on the beaches of Wairiruri Beach cove and the Gold Mill ruins. Theres also another tour which takes tourists to the Ostrich Farm, Bushiribana Ruins then off to the Natural Bridge, considered as Arubas most historic and preserved attractions. Each tour will cost about $100 for adults and $65 for kids but is a reasonable price considering one gets to interact with these gentle animals during your Aruban vacation.

Discovering Nature with Arikok National Park Aruba

Although Aruba won its popularity as being the island with world class beaches, there are still many wonders in its geographic state that gives more reason for even the scientific world to be awed. Aruba was formed through the formation of different rocks which combined with each other to make the island what it is today, made out of lava, quartz and limestone. The combination of these produced some of the most fertile lands which are ideal for different species. The Arikok National Park stands in the middle of these three stone formations, and is home to many plant and wildlife species from birds, snakes, trees to even the early developments of the Amerindians who settled in this island. The National Park is also able to explain that the rock formation is the cause of the different gold deposits the island is so famous for. The park is a great way to indulge oneself in the beauty of nature while there are many tours which help you understand the significance of the park. So dont be afraid to get lost in its wonder as it is truly worth it.
