Although Aruba is mainly famous for its beaches, there is another reason in the scientific world which makes Aruba so popular. Aruba as an island was formed through different rock formations from quartz, lava and limestone. The combination of these produced some of the most fertile lands which are ideal for different species. Arubas Arikok National Park is standing in the middle of these three stone formations, and has been home to many wildlife and plant species, from snakes, birds, trees and even up to how it influenced the Amerindians who first settled on 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. Arikok is a great place to unwind and take in Natures beauty whether for scientific purposes or not. Scientist or not, you really can get lost in the natural abundance of the place.
Passion Unleashed with Aruba Deep Sea Fishing
Deep sea fishing is a sport that requires a good amount of the sportsmans discipline to wait especially since one only has the railing and fishing boat as companion throughout the trip. However, the catch of the day is probably one of the most rewarding feelings a passionate hobbyist can get especially if the catch is a 70 pound billfish or a blue marlin. The waters of Aruba are a perfect venue for the sport as there are many species that hold residence in the area, most of them bigger and heavier than what an avid fisherman might expect such as barracudas, bonitos, kingfishes, yellow finned tunas and even a shark or two on occasion. There are several commercial fishing boats which can be chartered for a day or half a day during your Aruban vacation, depending on how passionate you are at the sport. Commercial fishermen at the different Aruban piers usually allow their boats to be rented or one can also hire professional guides like Red Sail Sports Aruba.
