Arubas love for horses came from its Spanish roots, developing a fondness that never quite got lost despite many other conquerors that have brought other forms of transportation modes since then, with most Arubans either developing a deep enthusiasm for these animals or become professional riders and breeders. Such is the case of Luis and Ramon Herrera who both decided to turn their passion for horses into a business with Rancho la Ponderosa, giving tourists different tours along the different attractions in Aruba. 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. Another tour also takes visitors to the Ostrich Farm, the Bushiribana Ruins and the Natural Bridge, one of Arubas most preserved and historic attractions. This will cost about $100 for adults and $65 for kids but is a worthy experience to take if only for its authenticity and a taste of the old lifestyle during your Aruban vacation.
Discovering Aruba via ATV Tours
Those who are thinking that Aruba is merely a beach haven, scratch off that presumption because theres more to Aruba than meets the eye. There are attractions that can be seen only in rugged terrains and the perfect transportation mode to use for such attractions is an ATV. ATV stands for All Terrain Vehicle which is an ideal mode for Arubas topography. Private companies offer special tours going to the North Side of Aruba such as Rancho Daimari. They offer private tours which is ideal for those who dont have an itinerary in mind such as a large group or a family. RanchoRancho Daimari is also keen to follow safety standards, always checking if their guests have a helmet and eye protection at all times. Another company giving out tours is De Palm Tours and Kini Kini ATV Tours which goes to the different Natural sights in the area hard to get to in a car such as the beautiful Rock formations in Aruba or the hidden Natural Pool.
Discovering Aruba through its Museums
As the past is closely linked to the future, a closer look at Aruba through its museums should be a part of your itinerary aside from its glorious beaches and tourist spots. There are many museums that give informative glimpses to the past such as the Aruba Aloe Museum and Factory, the Archaeological Museum, Historical Museum, Numismatic Museum and the Museum of Antiquities all in Oranjestad, as well as the Model Train Museum in San Nicolas. The first stop should be at the Aruba Aloe Museum which affects widely the economic as well as psychological standpoint of Arubas culture in terms of healing, tracing it from the discovery of the aloe plant down to the time when Aruba became the worlds largest exporter of Aloe. The Historical Museum or Fort Zuotman is considered as the oldest structure in Aruba and is a great way to discover how the Dutch influence Aruba and at how much their influence penetrated present life. Those wanting to know more about Arubas Amerindian descent can go to the Archaeological Museum, a place where one can discover the beauty of Aruba in an overall sense.
Touring Oranjestad, Aruba
The beautiful Southern Coast of Aruba is one of the most colorful parts of the island. The place is rich with Dutch history because it was once the Dutch Capital of Aruba and is currently where the major government buildings and structures are, constantly making this place busy with tourism and other formal functions. The Residential area in Oranjestad is full of Dutch influence from its multicolored buildings to its wooden furniture and Dutch tiles. Oranjestad is also a major fishing village where fresh fish and produce are delivered to residential doorsteps and restaurants every morning, so tourists can get a taste of fresh and authentic Aruban cooking. Oranjestad is also a great shopping district where one can find many authentic Aruban art pieces, handicrafts and clothing. When in the area during your Aruban vacation, do check out the different festivals held in intervals such as their summertime festival. The whole area is a great place for a day tour because of its jumble of attractions, very much like the culture of Aruba.
