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. You see, Aruba was formed via different rock formations such as limestone, quartz and lava. The combination of these three rocks produced good soil, ideal for different species to grow from it. 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. Arikok National Park also explains that the rock formation also resulted into the different gold deposits which Aruba is so famous for. The park, whether youre a scientist of not, is a great way to revel in the beauty of nature with its several different tours that lend to the significance of the park and its staff. So get lost in the natural beauty of Aruba in its National Park.
Conquering 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 so many attractions in Aruba aside from its beaches and a great way to see them up-close is on 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. The company likes to work with people who dont really have an itinerary in mind for the day and large groups and families are just as welcome to try. Daimari is also up-to-date on the safety standards required of that of an ATV, ensuring proper protection like 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.
Shopping Malls in Aruba
Shopping in Aruba is so unlike the frazzled task one usually associates with shopping at home. Actually, there really is no formal mall in Aruba, at least not one that involves a generic building with endless boutiques. The closest mall found in Aruba is the Paseo Herencia Shopping and Entertaining Center, and even this surpasses expectations with its beautiful old-style plaza type of building with a strong Hispanic flavor. The shop has many modern amenities like musical entertainment, a liquid fireworks display at night and a cinema aside from the different restaurants and shops around the area. The Village is another shopping destination worth a visit if only for its beautifully restored structure found in the middle of a high-end Aruban strip such as that of Miamis South Beach or Vegas Strip. The village has many entertainment factors such as shops, kiosks and street performances which is a great distraction from the shopping extravaganza. These two are quite a visual element in themselves even without their goodies and is a truly unique experience when it comes to shopping.
