You are always welcome in the Dutch
island of Aruba, just 15 miles (24 km) from Venezuela, where
your reception will be as warm as its year-round temperature
of 82F (28C) and as constant as the trade wind that brings cooling
breezes but very little rain. Aruba's famous beaches consist
of white sand and calm waters, each with it's own flavor to
suit your taste.
But the beaches aren’t the
only reason to visit this paradise. Arubans are gracious, energetic
hosts, proud of their mixed cultural heritage of Dutch, Spanish,
Portuguese, South American Indian. They are always eager to
help guests enjoy their stay on this classic Caribbean island.
